The giftcard issue is a huge problem for attachments. I really don't mind pushing them but having the company work directly against me while they're making me do it is infuriating.
Yea I remember those Ipods with the $50 or $15 gift cards. They would grab the case and extra headphones it went like this.
(TM scans ipod, case,and headphones)
TM:OK Sir your total is $xxx
Guest: Ok and can I use the gift card for this purchase?
TM: No it is not activated until this transaction is complete
Guest: Well take off the case and headphones,I will use this gift card to pay for those.
TM: OK no problem
Same scenario happens 4 or five time a day. Then the electronics TL ask how many ipods you sold at the end of your shifts and how many attachments you got, when you tell him he looks at you like you crazy when you tell him you didnt get any for those transactions. As if they dont know how it is when they have the gift card promotions. Good times.
