I agree. At my store we had company a few weeks ago and overtime was flung around like there is no tomorrow. But since then hours have been cut and they said no overtime this week. I work in the deli and our chicken person called in yesterday, so they only called in the person who only had four days because they didn't want overtime. They didn't call in someone who already had five days. So I had to do chicken, wait on the counter along with half a million other things.
when it's their ass on the line they have no problem spending corporate money but when it would help the employees or store? **** THAT! They need their bonuses.

A few months ago, a guy from Cincinnati came to visit (this is SC, Atlanta division). His name was Hunter something, can't remember. Store manager says, get everything done, hours are free don't worry about hours just make sure everything looks perfect. I rack up about 5-6 hours overtime in 4 shifts, visit goes fine and all. Saturday comes, and she's pushing me out the door before I can even break my truck down. If she thinks I'm ever busting my ass like that again, she's got another thing coming.

Yes, by all means don't. Sometimes I require my people to pull some O.T., and I always let 'em keep it---otherwise, where's the incentive?
Had president of Mid Atlantic at our store today. I was ordering my milk and he introduced himself and shook my hand. We started to have a conversation about the dairy and upcoming holiday when my store manager jumps in and wants to show him what he did with the butter and cream cheese in a European display(dumped in and all messy) in the bunker. Guess us small people cant't be trusted to have a conversation with the adults. He at least, after my manager was done putting his nose where the sun doesn't shine, wished me a Merry Christmas and shook my hand again. At least I didn't have to run around and do a lot of work since we are already in good shape.
well at least you guys dont have the president of the company shopping at your store! i do......
you should see the co-managers run around like court jesters when he comes in. from what i see of the man, he gots 2 legs; 2 arms; a head; and i dnt think he's a bot

I f-ing hated being in stores like that! We got a lot of the division merchandisers in our stores, and they'd stop through and it was always negative, and nothing ever seemed to satisfy them. You could be in the midst of a really bumping afternoon, doing $10K an hour and they'd complain that the store looked like sh-t. Well yeah, it does look like sh-t, because we're getting killed!! And they'd always pull that stupid "What can I do for you?" line on you. Always wanted to answer "There s something you can do: get the hell out of my store and let me serve my customers!"
