She's used that actual phrase before. And yet, in the short half hour I've been shoppingon my store, I've seen a used diaper in the cosmetics racks and discovered that some SC has opened up makeup and sampled it. We don't get credit for those kind of defectives. We lose money. Yeah, let me thank you profusely for taking money out of my pocket, since payroll is based directly on sales.

My boss says we should be thanking our customers profusely for shopping here.

I was there earlier tonight but ventured nowhere near the makeup.

To be called a customer would actually involve buying something, which the sampler didn't. Does that mean you can tell off any non-customers?A lion however, will only devour your corpse, whereas an SC is not sated until they have destroyed your soul. (Quote per infinitemonkies)

Quoth Hanzoku View PostWait, payroll is based on sales... commission type thing?Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

Exactly what wolfie said. And it's based on our store's sales, not those of the company as a whole. Makes no sense to me. Also, I have confronted non-customers several times, but this time I just wanted to get my stuff and go home. One time I confronted some girls spraying the perfumes and they had eyes as wide as saucers as I pointed out they were lucky I didn't have allergies to said products, and hopefully no one else would end up in the ER, and also that the product now couldn't be sold, which to me was tantamount to stealing.Last edited by Food Lady; 02-28-2011, 04:12 PM."Is it hot in here to you?

Quoth wolfie View PostI believe what the OP means is that the number of labour hours that corporate allows for in each store's budget is based on sales, so if sales are down (or profits are down because there aren't enough employees on the floor to catch and stop SCs destroying the merchandise), fewer hours are available for the manager to distribute in the schedule, so each employee gets fewer hours, and therefore less pay.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

Sorry, but while I can do many things, extracting heads from anuses isn't one of them. (so sayeth the irv)

Quoth DGoddessChardonnay View PostThat's what we deal with at the Litter Box every week . . . and one of the results has been with our inventories getting worse (b/c we don't have the LP guys coming by more regularly to wander the store and watch for shoplifters, for one thing) so we end up losing more money all the way around.
At grocery store, they kept cutting and cutting until there was only 1 manager, 1 cashier, and 1 clerk covering meat and produce. They store is only still open now because they are waiting for the city to buy the property to put in an overpass and its worth a lot more occupied.

Then I guess I was wrong years ago for thanking people at Publix that would come in, open a bag of potato chips or cookies, sample a few, then roll the bag back up and stick it on the shelves. Or years ago when the deli sold fountain soft drinks, and the customers would shop in the store, drinking away, then stick the empty cups on a shelf before checking out, in essence getting a free drink.
Man, was I wrong not to thank these people, oh, I mean, thieves, for shopping at my Publix. Come back and see us again soon!
