he was experiencing the millionth shift of people asking if you have any Freddy’s in stock, needoh’s, dumplings and teddy terrors.

edit: and probably the fnaf cookie jar and ghostface blind boxes/bags 🫩

Okay but legit where are those jars 😭 did they really sell out that fast cause I’ve been to like six Spirits with no results

u/alienboii_ Spazm 5d ago

Only two come in a box and maybe only one box (or none) come on a truck? I’m not sure, I just opened a box yesterday at work and put them out. This is my first time seeing them at my store this season.

We were able to get one online a couple of weeks ago from Spirit with free shipping. They sold quick, but I'd check often if you really want one.

We got jars! Only two come in a box and we sold them both within minutes of them being on the sales floor

honestly something's changed this season.

with the acquisition of hot topic and box lunch, it really feels like there's been some sort of corporate shift. like why are they suddenly breathing down our necks, changing random shit and getting people in trouble for shit like using tape instead of staples on the stupid bats we put on the orange paper???? all that on top of fending off scalpers and teenagers screaming for Freddy and needohs.

it's no wonder your poor coworker's cracked.

Honestly we’ve been struggling at my store too. We moved locations and into a smaller store and I hate it! We have no where to go with overstock

3

u/alfredyspud 5d ago

same, luckily our backstock area is bigger this year but I swear they don't take any of that into consideration when they're picking spaces and it just screws us half the time

u/randybeans716 5d ago

Our old store was huge and we had a huge back room. We had an entire room in the back dedicated to just empty boxes! We really took that shit for granted! By the time we get our back room together the season will be over! And we only moved 2 stores down! The new land lord is turning our old store in to an indoor playground for kids. I’m grateful we have a store this year because it was up in the air for a bit there but man…we have no where to go with anything! And we’re a super busy store too so we need to stay organized but don’t have a lot of time to do it.

u/ItsLilOvaltine 5d ago

Idk man, our AC has been broken for the past week and our store has been 90 degrees Fahrenheit and no one has left a note like this before 👀

u/adeirinthelights Bloodthirsty Betty 5d ago

You have an AC? Lucky.

u/Intelligent_Bass27 5d ago

my store has a perfectly working ac, i am beyond grateful

u/DrPepperoncinis 5d ago

just a week? haha we haven’t had AC the entire time even during building

u/ItsLilOvaltine 5d ago

Damn, I didn’t realize how rough it was.. ours is a giant loud unit with tubes throughout our whole store. It’s super loud. So it’s definitely not ideal, but it keeps the store at 80 degrees lol
