Nothing better to do with your corporate time then waste a couple days a week/hours on going to a store? No work to do? Come to the stores and just get in the way and have no idea of things. It's beyond comical. Talk about a waste of time. Must be nice.

@OP it’s cheaper than giving us more hours in our store
At Corporate they’re encouraging us to come out and help with the basics to try and give a little extra help during immunization season. We’re aware we aren’t great at store jobs, but I will say I’ve learned a lot from my local store. It’s certainly not an issue of being busy in our day jobs, but a lot of us do truly want to carve out the time to learn and hopefully help a little.
Idk get to know some of them. Some of them might be more useful than you think, if there are issues that your store is dealing with. There's not that many people at corporate anymore so there's a good chance they know someone who is in charge of it.
@eq outdates was an example. If it’s going to be on the future certification, then why not use them to pull them. You can only assume there’s nothing better to do. Similar to if your DM tells you to go help another store. I agree with the store wages but the new owners are investors. They need a ROI if they will spend the money on wages. Let’s hope they do while we hold our finger high.
@e6 BUT that didn't answer the question. Nothing more important for corporate people to go into stores when all you hear is all the cutbacks and people are so swamped at corporate yet they can take time to come in and as you say to do outdates? Seriously? They get paid pretty well and to do this? If that is the case, then pay the stores people real money/wages to do their work. It's the truth..... go pick up litter off the side of the roads then. That would make a better difference wouldn't you say.
If you don’t want their help then tell them your store isn’t able to support them coming in. Take the help. They can do the outdates your store probably isn’t doing.
