A couple years ago we had a new store director and they sent an ETL from another store to help him out because he was lost. Anyway, she guided him very wrong. One of the things they did was every single solitary day as a group, all ETL’s and SD would go out for two or three hours to lunch.
When I did my survey I wrote about this and it stopped immediately. Corporate had easy proof because they all use their cards to pay.
I think they work.
