I'm revisiting this pages just to look at past ideas and how they fit my conception of where things are going. My comments are paranthetical -Luiz
Some stuff that would make the Thrift Store easier to run:
Immediate Tasks
- Get SCSI cards out of IDE section (done...keep scsi lunatics away from the general public, please!)
- Label USB and modem boxes (done...week one...was this worth writing down?)
Longer-Term
- Replace sailor with a faster machine and/or upgrade OS (faster...for what? so youtube streams faster?)
- Make system for regularly upgrading isos (still a problem, but not so much considering Ubuntu's popularity)
- Clear labelling on boxes/shelves: what's there and how much does it cost (ongoin, maybe forever...remodel will address some)
- Clean up behind counter (get up out of that chair, and its pretty easy)
- Get phones in the store (work with Nathan) (done, and annoying questions were available for everyone)
- Organize system for wall warts so we can find different voltages and figure out what voltages we don't have so we can get more. (alot of upkeep for a $2 item...this highlights just how much I've moved away from this type of micro-service and towards whole system sales)
- Figure out when to send people to the wishlist and when to send them to receiving (figure this out: no more wishlist)
- Window sign that explains the store, what we sell, don't sell, and why. (please, no more stuff on the windows. i like light)
- Office supplies area (done, variable, popular)
- More testing in other places: sound cards, scroll mice, 5 and 7GB hard drives, zip drives (IDE and parallel), SCSI hard drives (done. just be nice)
- Reorganize: less slow-selling stuff, more quickly-selling stuff (reconcile this idea with the wallwarts idea above...)
- Get adoption volunteers in store (No. No. No. Build yes, adoption no)
- Get more cashier volunteers in store (Done)
- Possibly get unpaid store intern (Working on it)
- Price printer cartridges: set up system and document to store people know how to price them (more trouble than they are worth)
