Walter Gaipa replied to Cyndie Warbelow's discussion portable phones"Hi Cyndie,
We used similiar phones for years with good results. A flip phone would be great but not available. Now we carry I Phones, which gives us email access as well. We have given our regular customers our cell numbers and now we are in…"

We have been using the Uniden CellLink ELBT 595 portable cordless phones for the last several years as a portable add on to our phone system. Ours are gradually wearing out and this system is no longer available. We are looking for portable phones that are small, the flip phone configuration (or possibly headsets) that can take calls and that can also intercom between different phones or headsets. Are there any recommendations for small lightweight portable phones that accomplish and stand…See More
Carole Barton replied to Cyndie Warbelow's discussion Cell Phone Policy for Employees"Sherwood- Your approach to emphasize to employees that cell-phone use/ texting is an economic issue- either from a raise or bonus standpoint or both- is intriguing.

Timothy Lamprey replied to Cyndie Warbelow's discussion Cell Phone Policy for Employees"Gee, how did we ever function as a society without instant communication! The reality is, that texting or cellphone use is out of control in this country. When people are texting or using a cellphone, they are taking away from the productivity of…"

Gwen Condon replied to Cyndie Warbelow's discussion Cell Phone Policy for Employees"I frown on employees using their phone and receiving personal calls during work. I ask that they not to answer or make non emergency calls when on the clock. They understand that and I have had no problem with that policy. I…"
Sherwood Botsford replied to Cyndie Warbelow's discussion Cell Phone Policy for Employees"If you have a zero policy on cell phones, I won't work for you. You come across as being someone who is trying to get every last nickle out of everything you do. Lot of phone calls are of the, "Dad, I missed the bus, can you pick me up at…"
Alice Blevins replied to Cyndie Warbelow's discussion Cell Phone Policy for Employees"We are not retailers but wholesalers, but cell phone usage is one we have addressed many times.

Cyndie Warbelow posted a discussionCell Phone Policy for Employees
I am curious how other garden centers address the issue of employees texting and making/receiving calls on their cell phones while at work. I am trying to write up some sort of policy on this to hand out to all of our employees when we start up this season. My initial thought was to just go cold turkey and say cell phones must be turned off or in your vehicle while at work and that if you must make a call or check messages, clock out and do it in your vehicle. Is this too extreme? See More

Steve replied to Cyndie Warbelow's discussion Simple Point of Sale system"Credit card processing is usually a separate issue to POS.
