Some people have way too much time on their hands....

I don't have Wall Street-esque financial evidence here but I have this:

  • Our store has been open nine hours today and we are sitting at $1587.94 in our sales flash as of 6:31 PM CST. I have more than that in my checking account!

  • We are losing sales at a precipituous pace due to how inept the leadership is in this company. Appliances loses over 1/2 of all their sales mostly because of delays or deficiencies in delivery and it's been a problem for years and NO ONE has fixed it. We all are having to walk sales because the customer needs something soon (like a week) and yet the earliest availability dates are like a few weeks or even a month or two away. (Credit issue with the vendors?)

  • I'm one of five people on the clock since we don't have a single cent to spare on payroll. It's like this 90% of the time. We may have about ten or twelve people (including managers) when we are running on all cylinders.

  • We haven't been emphasizing on staffing the store with seasonal hires this year like in years past. A few people have left and it doesn't seem like they are getting replaced. It kinda makes sense after the dismal holiday we had. Nobody was at the door for a good 15 minutes after we opened them on Black Friday last year. Why would it suddenly be any better for this year?

  • Still have pretty empty holes in tools, shelving space or pegs with no product. Availability for a lot of products is dismal.

  • Holiday assortment is the same old dismal garbage you'd find at the dollar store. Same old stuff they buy year in and year out. Most of it never is able to sell and it ends up being marked at or below cost after the holidays. Even still, it never sells so we have to spend the money to ship back a couple of pallets of this stuff every single year.

  • And of course the usual stuff that's old hat with everybody: constant store closings, layoffs, no expansion or growth, no investment in the stores or its employees, piss poor stock price, debt collectors are a'knockin (our store actually was given a "Discontinuation of Service" notice by our garbage collection company for nonpayment), even the company "fixtures" like that Brathwaite guy are leaving...
