I wasn't aware you could still receive benefits under 30.

Hold on, what do you mean part-time? Anyone who is hourly? Or anyone who works below 30 hours a week?

We combine ours at night so it doesn't look so bad for the morning team!

I was about to make a response to what you quoted, but your response makes a lot of assumptions that I have to respond to it instead. By and large, for a lot of people college is a waste of money, but only if you think that degree magically grants you a job upon graduation. If you major in...

We structure ours like XBox Live achievements. (Almost) everyone who works in electronics loves video games, so the idea of getting achievements (awarded by fellow electronics TMs or TLs who see them) makes it a lot of fun. We even let anyone who participates come up with their own handle...

Perhaps it just varies by store then. I have no real interest in getting promoted to TL, but I have several peers that have been "stuck" for the past 4-5 years. They'd like to promote, ETLs know they'd like to promote, but they continually get looked over by recent hires that my peers have...

I was curious if you could disclose a little about the promotion process. What did you guys look for when it came to seeking out potential promotions to TL/GSA/etc? High work ethic is obviously important, but I feel like that many people at my store with that quality often get passed over (for...

Always a team member, never a team leader...

Yeah, I think a lot of the stimulus stuff ended at the end of the year, so yeah, taxes will be back to where they were before for now.

That would be pretty weird. So they're just there hiding past the video games? LOL, I think that would probably make them appear even shadier. "Psst, hey! Want a phone? I got your phones riiiight here!"

Seems like reactions to Target Mobile are kind of mixed. We had one stretch where we had some outstanding Target Mobile TMs, but they left because their company was treating them like garbage and they couldn't take it anymore. Every other rep we've had has been disrepectful towards guests...

Dear Lord, please let this be true.

I don't think anyone should be allowed to wear Crocs... Target TM or not... ;)

Flexing games at this time of year can be especially important, because of the volume of video game sales. Yeah, if Black Ops 2/Halo 4/etc. are out, and someone came in looking for those games specifically, they're likely not going to buy the game that's been flexed in its place. However, for...

We had 1 person! Amazing flop of a midnight launch, and not worth it at all.
