That's horrible. There is nothing worse than the people from corporate trying to tell you how to do your job...when they obviously have no clue...

: And I'm so bummed out about it. To make a long

: providing enough customer service to our
: customers on Tuesday and I was apparently
: hanging around the counter too much (I was
: on register, so how was I supposed to ring
: up the customers if I didn't go to the

: It wasn't a set-up. It's just that my store

: connection, which means that we were the
: perfect guinea pig for the camera set up. I
: didn't mind the cameras...I didn't like
: them, but I didn't mind them. My objection
: is to the fact that the CEO can watch us

: We got three phone calls on Tuesday telling
: us that we at the counters too much. Each
: time, we moved away. One of the things that
: we were supposed to do on Tuesday was to
: count the ladies underwear...which is right
: by the counters in four bins, three levels
: in each bin. How were we supposed to count
: them if we don't go by the counters?? It's
: just micro-managing. And their idea of
: customer service is to follow customers
: around the store, constantly asking them if
: they need help. I know, as a customer, it
: makes me uncomfortable to have an employee
: following me around. And we've actually had
: customers complain. But they don't care.
