Just heard we will soon be starting a "new" rollout involving empowerment. I wonder why it's taking so long to implement it at my store.
What's this.

Got room under that counter for me to hide with you? And an extra degreaser bottle?Oh lord.....I'm gonna hide under the counter with a degreaser bottle.....Just heard we will soon be starting a "new" rollout involving empowerment. I wonder why it's taking so long to implement it at my store.
Bingo.It doesn't seem any different than what we've been doing.

When spot has run out of ideas so fast that they're trying to re-brand recent ideas, you know we're SOL.
A big part of the Be Bold campaign is that Spot is tying guest comments to specific TMs now. This means that when a guest leaves a negative comment on a cashier, the store will have a report that tells them which cashier it was. It's basically the Vibe on steroids because every TM is being put out there and graded by our guests. We've reached the point where we're trying to quantify FF&F.
That could already be done, and any ETL-GE who cared was already likely doing this. All this does is put it in an easier to read format for TLs to see by a one glance grid how cashier numbers are looking.A big part of the Be Bold campaign is that Spot is tying guest comments to specific TMs now.

When I first read this I thought my store was participating in this just say yes crap too... but no. We have officially begun this "empowerment" campaign as of about a week ago.
Cheese and rice it's worse than I thought. I was told "if a coupon is expired, if there are too many, hell if they aren't even BUYING the product the coupon is for, take the coupon. If there's a barcode on it, take the coupon." WTF. I was also informed that I could change the price from $150 to $75, but NOT from $300 to 50 (yeah, a $250 price change is really pushing it...). Basically, if there's an issue, do what the guests want, and if there are people taking advantage of the system, management will take care of it. As if they actually have the time to put that on their list, or AP's.
It hasn't been too bad thus far, but I'm envisioning those shady TMs sending in friends and family to take advantage of this...As many of you have mentioned, it doesn't come out of my paycheck, and I definitely don't get paid enough to care, but I hate seeing people take advantage and I know it won't be long before I see this coming to bite us in the ass up front.
I guess my real concern is what happens if we rebuild our "brand loyalty" but are still losing money because of this "just say yes" thing? When we try to start being more strict about this stuff again people are not going to like it. Then what??
