Yep.. The store does seal their own fate on lots of things. The steering wheels they might sell maybe two per year. Not many folks knocking down the door to buy a steering wheel. They do replenish inventory and it comes in on a semi truck and is unloaded early in the morning and its the responsibility of 3 or 4 team members to get it all on the shelf by 10:30 that morning. Sounds easy enough right?
Customers come when the store opens and need help loading and unloading and those team members stop stocking and help customers and steering wheels are still in the back room waiting to be picked.
Like I said the demands of customers are really high. Capital enterprise demands profits so that means dumping as much as possible on workers. If they added more people to meet the random bursts of customer activity they would have employees standing around doing nothing and prices would be even higher. Then someone comes in and has to wait a few minutes for help and is completely unhappy because they had to wait.
Since I do the work for the fun of it I am constantly looking for something to do or someone to help. So far I have collected 13 dollars in tips from people that I have gone out of the way to help. I think I'm the only one working there that has gotten tips. I guess those customers feel sorry for me because I'm old and have grey hair or maybe its the enthusiasm.
For 8.95 per hour its hard to get folks that are enthusiastic about doing the work and sad to say even if they paid 18 bucks an hour they would still have lackadaisical lazy employees and over demanding customers that think they are the only person on the planet that matters.
Then you have the shop lifters and scammers and these are people that you would think are fine upstanding people. They buy things and use it then bring it back and say its broken or defective.
This one is a classic.. Cattle panels are 19 bucks each.. Goat panels are 59 bucks. They called a load out in the lot for cattle panels so I went to load them. When I directed the guy to the cattle panel stack he said no its not those its these. (goat panels) . Ok.. Hummm, let me see your ticket . He had paid for cattle panels at 19 dollars each but said he bought goat panels. Earlier in the week he bought 30 panels and pulled a scam on the loader and they loaded goat panels. The loader should have checked his ticket. The guy told me he had been paying 19 dollars for the panels and I told him they sold him the goat panels at cattle panel prices.
He said now the panels won't match and I'm not paying 59 dollars for those. I said well you are already way ahead even if you pay the correct price for these. I'm not paying that price...I'm going to get a refund for these and go buy the others some where else. So he went somewhere else and maybe pulled the same scam. Next year YOU will pay higher prices for the inventory losses.
Like I said.. working there is a real eye opener. It sure is entertaining though..
I have been blessed to have worked alongside many crafts and trades and I have come to understand their pain... That's maybe a part of the worlds problems... Lack of understanding.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
