  • Oh, I do. They have like 10 employees, a shift manager and a manager. The manager and the shift manager get 40 hour weeks. The rest of the employees gets like 15 hours a week and the manager will get slapped if they start accidentally scheduling them for more than 35 even if they ask for it.

    Of those 15 hours, like 5 of them will be on shipment/stocking day when they get their shipments in. Usually a less busy day like a Tuesday or something. After the shelves are refilled you really only need a cashier and a supervisor and at really slow times sometimes the cashier can be the supervisor.
















  • So people don’t realize that not only are the chickens, milk and other things loss leaders. But also they don’t always earn direct profit from things like chips and soda, those are also ways to drive people in the door and the companies realized they could make convoluted merchandising deals.

    Deals where shelf space is sold, circular ad space is bought, profits go to the soda or other distributor and stores get additional payouts based off hitting sales metrics. Outside merchandisers stocking the soda, because afterall it’s their product and sales… All to get people to hopefully load up a cart, preferably with their in house brands.
