Party time in Hamburg
Just heard our GM Scott Johns is out of here August 1st!!! Good Luck Glendale hes a real gem. If we are lucky his sidekick hr manager will go with him.
Company wide or just some stores? Power hour.
Power hour between 11-3, No tasking just helping customers. Annoying the sh-- out of customers by asking them what brought you in today? Is this happening in all stores or is it just my store GM making us do this? Departments are looking like crap... — read more

Departments are going to be short again this weekend. The front end will be calling for help all day and people will be leaving merch ln the floor and walking out. I think they are simply cutting labor to the bone and they have simply stopped caring... — read more

Two friends and family events in 60 days? Hmmmm....that does not really match the statements we made on the investor call a year or two ago about getting rid of the discount events because they were poor business practice and hurt margins.

Hamburg lost a truely good mgr.She took care of her dept. She also stuck up for her employees! I guess that was her downfall!! She wasn't one of the corporate PUPPETS either! I forgot the GM Scott didn't like her, so now she's gone! Thanks Scott!

Awful quiet
Richfield, WI. store
Walked into the Richfield store, and the first thing you see is a huge fat guy sleeping. Then he stands up and his shirt is busted wide open, can't be buttoned. Is that how you want to represent your store? I asked a gal about that and she said... — read more

Surrounding towns
How are the surrounding towns coping with the uncertainty?
May or May Not..............
Are we believing that if we keep quiet and don't say anything negative about the company and keep doing our jobs until the Quad takeover that they will pay us a bonus? It says right on the emails "We may or may not" which to me feels like an out... — read more
