Responsibilities:

1) Customer Service

2) Inspecting

3) Organizing

4) Security

Customer Service:

YOU are one of the first “face-to-face” experiences a consignor will encounter!

1. Be courteous, polite and professional at all times.

2. Politely and calmly follow and communicate guidelines

3. Be helpful and energetic!

YOU are the face of Three Bags Full. We never know what kind of day a consignor has had prior to arriving. Be kind & courteous. Help them to have a great experience!

Inspecting:

To maintain a high-quality event, standards need to be met. It is important to adequately and thoroughly inspect items without being condescending. Many moms feel horrible if a stain is found; help them to understand the lighting is different and it happens to all of us. Customer Service is important!

General Guidelines:

1. Read the “Items Accepted” which is taped to the table.

• KNOW what you are to inspect

• Know what we do NOT accept.

2. Be thorough and accurate

3. Be polite and professional

4. Always ask a TEAM LEAD or SALE ASSISTANT if you are unsure.

Clothing Inspection:

1. Count the infants, maternity, junior and adult clothing.

• One hand length is approximately 10 hangers

• Know what is acceptable based on the “Items Accepted” document

• If the consignor has too many, ask them to “pick their best”

• Common Sense Rule: If they are slightly over the quantity limit, but they are great condition & priced right, accept them.

2. Inspect for Condition:

• Look for stains, holes, tears, ripped knees, excessive pilling

• Is it out-dated?

• Especially look at the neck area of infant clothing for spit up stains

• Especially look at the knees and seat of jeans for excessive wear

• Ask yourself: Will this sell at that price? If you’re not sure, ask a Team

Lead or Sale Assistant.

3. Inspect for Brands:

• Maternity, Teen & Adult Clothing: check the “Items Accepted” for acceptable brands.

• Additional brands are okay, if they are of similar quality.

Remember: NO CLOTHING IN BAGS! They can hang items & bring them back at presale.

Toy & Accessory Inspection:

1. Electronic Toys MUST turn on.

2. Everything should be clean & neat, free of dirt and animal hair.

3. Toys in bags should be taped closed (if not, consignor fixes)

4. Games:

• Look inside the box. Is it arranged neatly? Does it appear to have all pieces? If so, consignor can tape box closed. If not, consignor is to bag up the pieces, counting to ensure all are present.

5. DVD’s:

• Open the case and inspect the title & the back of the DVD.

• Consignor tapes closed if passes inspection

6. Shoes:

• No visible dirt, scuffs, missing laces, excessive wear.

• Some just need wiped off with wet wipes or magic eraser (provided)

7. Toys with pieces:

• Make sure bags are taped closed; misc. parts are taped adequately to the main piece

Baby Equipment & Large

Toy Inspection

Attaching a Claim Ticket

Use a RED Zip Tie to attach a Claim Ticket to the item.

STROLLERS: Put claim Ticket on the handle!!!

STAPLE the “red commerce sanitization tag” to the BACK of the Claim

Ticket if the item has fiber fill

Organizing

1. You will be in charge of a “department”

2. Your role is to keep your department organized, neat & picked up

3. Group “like” things together

4. Anything that will fit on metal shelving needs to be placed on metal shelving.

5. Goal: We never want the sales floor to look “picked over” therefore don’t leave big gaps on shelves, etc.

• It is better to have an empty shelf than a shelf with just a few items.

6. We also do not want items stacked on top of one another or books falling off shelves. Spread out as much as you can but using the space wisely.

Security

It is of the utmost importance that we maintain a safe and secure environment, not only for people but for items for sale.

1. NOTHING goes home with a consignor during drop-off except for their own personal items that were not accepted.

2. NOTHING gets “stashed for later”

3. ALL procedures need followed to secure items

4. NO parking lot sales, whether inside or outside the building

5. If you suspect a problem, contact a Sale Assistant immediately.

Remember!

Arrive a few minutes early to learn your position.

Sign-in and sign-out so your shift will count!

Wear a 3BF t-shirt & name tag or 3BF apron (provided)

READ the “Items Accepted” to refresh your memory.

UNDERSTAND the specific role you are assigned. Ask if you have questions.

Your own personal drop-off time is not during your shift, when you are assigned to helping others. Common Sense Rule applies: bring your things; if we aren’t busy we can try to work you in. If it works out, great. If not, you still have your original schedule!

THANK YOU for helping out during Sale Week!

ASK if you have any questions!
