As a manager, sales are plunging and the moral is decreasing everyday. We ask our employees to do so much with so little while cutting hours and paying far less than fast food. Many of our best employees have been either laid off or sought other employment because of the atmosphere. Everyday employees ask whether they should find somewhere else to work because of the uncertainty.
Granted, on the outside every last customer loves this company and swears they want to help it survive. The truth is that so many use it like a public library, spend hours a day reading books in store and not buying. And many of those have no shame about it. We are the new trendy library of free materials. Of course the company sees this as being great for atmosphere and hoping it will be enough to compete against competitors.
I hope the stores survive. Everyday they change direction and throw out 20 new ideas to get consumers to stay. We are now more of a toy store than a book store our customers muse. We sell baby blankets and beauty kits. We throw away boxes of toys and other items the company says must go. Wastefulness will be one of its downfalls. It throws away ceos like its merchandise.
