Just heard it in a conference call with Jizzel, electronics and connection center (both of which are staffed by green vested idiots who know nothing about tech) will close down this summer. Tech associates will be dispersed between manning the click and pull desk all day without breaks, scraping stickers off the floor (FT+ OT), and zoning HBA from 7am to 7am.
-
95% of electronics shoppers at sams club are age 75+ and have complained about tech associates talking too fast.
-
Too many angry members regarding outages of HP ink and diminishing stock of land line phones.
-
Cellphone sales are as low as they've ever been due to only having 2 actual cell phones on hand.
-
Millennial's want unlocked iPhones with $500 gift cards, members born before 1935 want tracfones for 99 cents.
-
Sales floors are full of outdated cancelled items that nobody wants even if marked down to $10.
Clubs will receive a shipping container to pack all the inventory into and sent to new clubs in India.
Rumor is the sales floor area will be replaced with 100ft long velvet ropes to accommodate for the massive lines at the returns desk. Only remaining electronics will be a pod containing 3 different types of Atomi branded charging stations, and one pallet of fire extinguishers so members can put them out when the charging stations start their house on fire.
Again this is not a joke post, I literally just heard this in a conference call because I'm a manager and we get paid to sit in the office.
