?? $22.50 an hr. and for days over 10hrs....

also staying an extra 30 minutes a day gets me just over 2 hours overtime a check when I can. So again, thats why Im still here. You really do sound mad 🤣🤣 Maybe if you had some "education and experience" you could make more than you are and not have to be a cashier.

There is something very very very wrong with you. I would say delusional. $250 a day? Yup..sure..there is something really wrong with you..and your insults? Sounds like a 10 year old. Now please go away and please get some help

I didnt mention those examples of Drs being wrong to be a smartass and that still doesnt mean I assume I know more than them or corporate for that matter, thats the shoe youre putting on.

I merely brought up those examples to show you how stupid you sound using that as your logical reasoning because even then just because they were a DR and have a degree, they still didnt know wtf was going on just like you and BBBY. Again, most things dont need a degree to understand, but for you, my god, you need more than a degree...Youre like the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz; if only you had a brain :(

and I will appease you by answering one of your questions. Im still here because I can sit on my a– all day and type these comments out and get paid over $250 a day doing it. That make you even more upset now ?! 🤣

Man you really are just stupid and not a troll. No wonder youre a BBBY employee who would work under me.

BBBY could be making so much more profit than they are off their online sales.

Again, paying twice for shipping and also overpaying people who make over $20 an hr to spend all day packagaing and shipping out orders.

Doesnt take a genuius to figure out its more profit to pay people minumum wage to pull items from a warehouse and to not spend money shipping merchandise to your store wasting your receiving labor & unpackagaing items that are just going to be processed packagaed and shipped right back out.

Theres a lot of dollars in online sales but how much of the profit are they retaining by this method? Again, not sustainable to keep up with the big boys.

Especially when youre shipping out items that have low profit margins to begin with like Ninja Foodis etc. Pissing away money is all theyre doing...

however, i do know how to retain the most profit fromthe online surge, and its definitely not the business model they got going on right now

I can see why you are getting the response s you are getting. That is a very big assumption. You know how to "retain" the most profit?

There is something very wrong with you. You know better then Drs and Corporate. I have enough maturity to not use the swear words you did. If you "think" you know how to make BBBY online profitable as you say..why not share with corporate.? And again..I ask why do you stay? You sound very bitter..just leave and maybe your attitude will improve.. I am 32..how old are you?

yet again another response that does not pertain to the actual topic at hand....

so answer my questions before you get the liberty of having one of your id–tic questions answered.

without providing any refuting points or any logical discussion im afraid it is you that is the 21 year old cashier with an 11th grade education immaturely trolling.

Love how I continuously try to stay on topic and you cant even reply with a rebuttal that even includes one response to what I have presented or asked you.

If you have the education and experience I would like to see you put it to use in a response and tell me how Im wrong instead of just saying im wrong.

Seriously whats your education, and whats your experience background? Cause if you had any you wouldnt have any problem actually discussing the topic at hand vs eluding to what I ask and present to you.

🤔 Apparently you have the education and experience to run the company and confidently tell me im wrong yet your responses show the exact opposite. youre still no better off than anyone else here on this thread especially when youre so off topic bud. Good use of your "education and experience" by slaving away at BBBY being a yes man 🤣🤣

Maybe you should be a DR along with leading BBBY as you seem to know it all. No..I am not a troll..but I have enough education and experience to know YOU do not know what you are talking about. You answer with a juvenile responses.how old are you anyway? My other question is why are you still here? You seem miserable and know so much..why aren't you at Target or Walmart? And you do not know what's going on there.. I am guessing you are about 21? And yes writing a half way professional post and not swearing is a reflection of maturity

you mean like the one time I told the DR I had an ear infection and they said I had not. Then it progressed to a double ear infection the very nex day later and I had to go back.

or the time this year where I told them I had strep and they didnt believe me and said it was viral and made me go back in for another visit and another bill to find out I had strep..

so yeah ive had to tell a Dr theyve been wrong a few times...

"And my intent was not to mock you..I will say that these type of posts where posters think they have the answers to save BBBY drive me crazy. Seriously..it's like going to the Dr and telling them how to fix your broken leg. More then likely this "craziness" at store level is temporary.".........

Have you ever learned how to do something by watching someone fail? Thats exactly what this is. No one can run a business more poorly than BBBY has been run the last year.

I never said I had to solution to save BBBY and I wont because IMO BBBY is a goner however, i do know how to retain the most profit fromthe online surge, and its definitely not the business model they got going on right now.

For you to assume that I thought I was self righteous in my stance thinking I had the ideas to save BBBY is even more ignorant on your part...

🤣🤣 spelling errors... thats comical
considering im here to discuss business decisions and questioning the moves BBBY made, not spelling errors. That stance from you take here shows me you have no quality discussion to add (probably because you dont know what the hell is going on) or youre just here to troll; you havent done anything to argue any of the points ive made. Just because I have spelling errors from typing paragraphs on a 4 in. cell phone doesnt give you any insight to me as a person

The fact you think Mark Tritton is even doing the best he can is even more hilarious. Mark Tritton has been a scapegoat from day 1 just like everyone else. Remember him sending out a video saying how much he admired and appreciated the american tradition of thanksgiving, then a week later announces BBBY will be open for the first time on thanksgiving. Then when every retailer closes in thanksgiving the next year Mark Tritton follows suit and jumps ship. Hes a POS and has been everything but transparent since coming aboard. Learn to read between the lines..

Everytime the cut a wave of stores a new corporate position is fulfilled.

Please tell me how any of the moves BBBY has made right now translate to them prevailing vs failing?

Because again, theyre failing to profit from any of the online business.

Theyre not having warehouses inventory and their labor fulfill these orders, theyre sending 100s of orders to the stores to fulfill stealing their labor from the floor as well as their inventory.

Please tell me whats the point in even running that location as a store anymore when more dollars are going out of the back than the front and when youre losing any markup you had?

The fact you think Walmart and Target have the same issues as BBBY shows you have absolutely no idea what I or anyone on this thread are talking about.

Again target and walmart are not fulfilling over 200 online orders in store to ship out . Let alone from each location or any location for that matter. Want to know why? because they have the warehouse infastructure to not burden their stores to force them to take from their labor or inventory to fulfull said orders. Not only that they also have better vendors that get them their merchandise promtptly and they can accomodate replenishment when needed.

Again it doesnt take a degree to see whats being done wrong and instead of critizing my views and using my spelling as justification for your stance maybe you can include some insight or some actual worthwhile discussion besides " im sure MT knows what hes doing" that way you actually sound like you know what youre talking about and actually add a spec of value to this discussion

The language you use along with the spelling errors give some insight into your immaturity. Have you ever read the boards for Target and Walmart? A lot like this one. When I go in those stores I am usually left to fend for myself. My stance? That people with education and experience run the company. MT was brought in to turn things around. A few months later came the pandemic. Do I agree with everything going on? Not at all..but there is probably a method to the madness even if we don't think so. Sadly those of us in stores are the ones suffering. If you have ideas share them with management/corporate. Seriously

it doesnt take a degree to know that this company is being poorly run. When you go into walmart or target your not left to fend for yourself with no employees to help you and your not being asked to shop through merchandise thats been depleted by the surge of online orders. You dont go into either of tbose establishments and see them scrambling to send out 100s of orders a day neglecting their customers in the store

I was never claiming to have the answers but its clear as day theyre pissing away a lot of profits that other companies are cashing in on and in no way is this sustainable.

Mocking someone and not having any sort of stance or argument begind it shows the education and maturity of a 2nd grader and thats why your comments got downvoted. Your butthurt a– must be working for corportate either that or we found mark trittons burner.

Heres the list as requested. Its only 38 so maybe anither liquidator purchases the remainders of the other locations.

One would think to capitalize on the online boom instead of pissing away all the profits. To me that would entail converting the less profitable stores into RF fulfillment stores with more back stock/warehouse space to ensure their profitablity year round such as the Boulder location as a prime example. The only time they do business is back to college, which is understandable why theyd close it, but theres a way to k–l two birds with one stone here.

Covert these locations to ensure store profitability and increase warehouse infastructure all the while ramping up the online orders so stores can keep up with the volume and so the stores that do still see high traffic have someone to help them in the store and they have inventory to shop from and BBBY profits more by not overpaying labor and shipping costs for sending out orders to stores then back to customers and not losing in store sales in the process. BBBY seems to have the most minimal fleet of warehouses are their disposal which is why every store is being asked to fulfill hundreds of online orders a day on top of taking care of everyone in the store with less coverage and no products in the store cause theyre all being sent out.

But hey what do we know.
