    Changes in account numbers. Inconsistent shipping. Delays with no explanation....

    Our rep is usually pretty straight forward about what Maui Jim is doing, however he never truly explained to us why the account number changed. All he told us was there were changes being made and nothing else.

    Mauis are arguably the best sunglasses you can pick up at the mall from a 16 year old sales clerk.

    I did a quick search and I think this is what it means: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/i...3203527AAh665r

    Actually it depends on the context. But if you are looking for a job in a place where SAP is used they might refer to the SAP ERP system.

    SAP actually is an ERP or an Enterprise Resource Planner and used by many organizations world wide. This is the worlds leading business software providing integration between departments and making it easier to do business. SAP facilitates functionalities like Sales, Purchasing, Inventory Management, Quality Management, Manufacturing etc, etc.

    So when an employer asks you about your experiences in SAP, they might be asking whether you have used SAP applications in your job functionality earlier.

    They had a few down days while they switched over but they sent a paper letter and an email warning about the delays ahead of time, and an insert in orders as they arrived warning about the changes as well.

    SAP, a German software developer primarily working in developing business process applications to manage business operations and customer relations has been around for years. They deal primarily with large top tier accounts so I would guess that any company migrating to a SAP environment is doing OK.

    Jealous? I wish I could sell half as many suns as those uneducated sales clerks. And MJs are awesome, don't kid yourself.

    Trigger?
    I am not familiar with abbreviation PSTD. I am familiar with PTSD, and if you refer to that I don't have it!

    Have you been dealing with Luxottica when they transferred to SAP?

    We choose to sell less cookie cutter style sunglasses where I work. We choose to sell suns that are made by the optical companies we carry and it's working really well. I got bored of selling Maui Jim a long time ago.

    The last few weeks have been rough for us. Orders taking super long, ridiculous wait times on hold, misinformation about frame availability, flippant responses to questions or concerns. Incredibly frustrating.
