So much money being wasted

I do the ordering for my store and I find it strange that they will pay a fortune to train us on things that have nothing to do with the job we do, but won't pay for simple things like toilet paper and paper towels. We have to use claimed out tp and paper towels. They won't even buy mop buckets for our maintenance because we are over budget! They make the floor cleaning crew wash out scrubber pads and re use them over and over. Yet they will pay $1350 for a hotel for our pharmacist to work at another store. I also do the MTR's so I see how much money is wasted paying $450 per night right on the beach for 3 nights. I also see the MTR's that the district manager makes each store pay for Starbucks whenever there is a meeting 2-3 times per week. A lot of wasted money that could be used to pay their associates better.

Stop excepting returns from other retailers!

Though go in and put a product on file just to hand somebody money.

@2hyq you hit the nail right on the head. I am a claim supervisor. I see pools that are obviously years old returned every year. They use the same UPC every year so people buy a new one and put the old disgusting one in the new box and bring it back with the new receipt. We lose a couple thousand dollars a year on pools. Our store takes back the most ridiculous c-ap that we get charged back on. Such a waste.

Save money by stop accepting returns of... Swimming pool, lawn mowers etc.. after summer. Returns policy is ridiculous and cost millions.

I agree. But we still got to have the big company meetings twice a year. What a joke.

I always got frustrated with:

No shelves ( people would steal from other areas so when you came back from being off your area would look nice.)

No signing ( people would steal)

No paper to make signing

No numbers for pricing

No pallet jacks

Sometimes, no printers

No handhelds

It’s a big joke show!
