Lowe's U and AP4me may seem frivolous...besides the managers getting bonuses for the rank-and-files' participation. But look on the bright side.
Lowe's U and AP4Me are good ways to NOT be on the madhouse sales floor while being paid. Take a lot of time checking Email, too, even if you never get Emails. Assign yourself hours and hours of training. You can waste a lot of time that way. You get paid by the minute, make the most of it
