Check it out. For several years at my wife’s employer she has regularly received employee store passes for adidas and Columbia. Those two companies have always handed out employee store passes to the general public like candy.
My wife is working from home today. She called me into her office to show me something in her email. Guess what it was? Store passes for the Nike employee store!
That’s a first! I have NEVER seen Nike hand out employee store passes like this.
If you’re wondering home come your friends, family and neighbors are no longer asking for employee store passes this may be why. Shopping at the Nike employee store is no longer the exclusive thing it used to be. Just one more sign that Nike is really fishing for sales. It’s sad, really.
I remember how it used to be. When it came to Nike employee store passes friends would act like Chris Rock in ‘Boyz n the Hood’: “Come on man, give me an employee store pass. I’ll su-k yo d**k!”
Ah, the good old days.
