It's like Tetris, but with clothes.

The displays in retail stores are constantly changing, and today was one of those days. I redid the guys' hats wall. The company sends us photos of how every store should display something; you can go to three different PacSuns in the same day and chances are that the girls hoodies are folded the same way, arranged the same way, and found in the same spot at each store. You could walk into a fourth store blind folded and still find those hoodies (granted the stores are all the same shape, which is not the case at our store).
With each floor set display comes a photo of exactly how Pacific Sunwear expects the clothes to be displayed. There are bumps, though. Sometimes we don't have all the designs or a full size run of the clothes so it's not aesthetically pleasing when done by the picture.
That's the fun part! The sales associate doing the display has free will to fill in those gaps appropriately to make the display "work" until the specified items from the pictures can go in their designated places in an appealing manner.
It's like solving a puzzle putting floor sets together sometimes, and it's rewarding to step back when you're done and say "I made that!"
It's NOT so rewarding to have to watch it get torn apart by shoppers and have to piece it all back together throughout the day :/

Have a great day and come back soon.
