I think they mean this: Some stores might have a vendor log at the customer service desk for you to sign before you begin your task. Other stores will require you to sign in at the back of the store. If customer service does not have the log and they would direct you to another [the waaaaay back] part of the store, you might be able to skip the customer service desk and go directly to the back where vendors log in and receive a badge which identifies them. How do you know this in advance? Are we allowed to call first to find out each store's specific procedure?
Yesteday, I worked at a store and never signed anything. I wore my badge, gave the scripted introduction to the associate at Customer Service, and was approved by a Customer Service Manager. This person escorted me to the primary display. My next store is a different situation. I already know that I will have to sign the log book in the back of the store. Accordingly, I will park in front of the grocery area and save time accessing the log-in area which is behind the grocery section of the store.
YMMV. Great question!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you explain this to me, about skipping the line and going to the vendor log? First time so it's unfamiliar to me. Thanks much!!

I've done a few and they go pretty quickly, but definitely bypass all that and go to the vendor log at the CS desk.
