What's New for Our EE Crew
Scanning updates
We've updated our scanning steps. Please review carefully:
- Note the counting and banding of clothing hangers with green flag tape.
- When scanning, check the screen after EVERY scan to ensure the item is scanned properly and the price is correct.
- Scan clothing FIRST: Bag it and hand all bags to the customer BEFORE scanning big items.
- Scan big items SECOND: Be slow and careful not to miss any.
- Scan loose smaller items THIRD: Bag as you go!

Reschedule EE Crew Slots
Life happens — need to reschedule your Crew slot?
More than one week before your shop day:
Simply click "Register," run through the process again, deselect the slot you can no longer work, and choose new ones.
One week or less before your shop day:
Use Registration to change your slot, then forward your confirmation email to us with a note explaining which shift you are missing and which one you have picked up to replace it.
Our crew commitment
To ensure a high-quality sale, we require all Crew to fulfill their pledged shifts. Being on time and completing your full shift is vital to our success.
Missed Shifts: If you cannot fulfill your shift, we ask that you reschedule to a makeup slot. In the event a shift is missed and not made up:
- Consignors: We may deduct $10 per hour missed from your consignor earnings to cover the cost of a replacement worker if you cannot switch to another shift.
- Non-Consignors: Please Venmo kidseverywear $10 per missed hour within 24 hours if you cannot switch to another shift.
Note: We consider extreme extenuating circumstances (such as a death in the family). If you cannot attend the Preview Sale, we still hope you will fulfill your timeslot to ensure we are not short-staffed. Thank you for your sacrificial service!
