It doesn't matter what Costco prices I key in on the comp screen, Home Office will not change them. If they do, its by a penny. I'm paid mileage and my hourly rate to comp Costco's prices and it is a complete waste of time and payroll. Yellow New Lower Price, Special buy, orange new lower price, Instant Savings (whether it is in the ISB book or just a wild idea by Home Office), green organic sign holders. Have you seen the double discounts on some items? Ridiculous! Members just say Oh This Is On Sale. They couldn't give a c-ap what description is on the sign or what color the backer is. Watch the math and quantity limits on those items especially in the fresh areas. They are usually wrong. Bait and switch. It is going to catch up. Errors that I send in to the pricing team are rarely corrected. Doing all these bulk drops of sign changes are so useless. Costco's pricing varies from warehouse to warehouse. I had many of those signs actually go up instead of decrease in price. Job security.
You stupid, stupid, stupid fools. If you really knew your company you would stop talking about Costco. Costco is NOT our competition, Amazon is. Do you even try to know the company that pays your bills. SMH, please do us all a favor and resign.
Prepare for tons and tons of wasted payroll that will be necessary to maintain this ridiculous program. Wait until you all have to do sign changes for ISB and deal with ISB sign backers, NLP sign backers, yellow sign holders and the constant list of items that must always be ensured thy are yellow on a daily basis. Such an efficient way to manage payroll and man hours!
We have had “New low Price” Yellow signs for months now. It’s a hassle for the sign people.. also get ready for low sales comps and not meeting sales goals. HO does not adjust sales budgets even thought they slash prices and cut margins in half. Also prepare for a lot of negative margins
F--- them! In a price war you lose! Checking signs is really what these a--holes need to be doing. What a f---ing joke the company had become!
We were a test club guess it’s going to other regions!! Pain in the rear make sure all yellow signs and new lower prices are in order!! Big wigs with nothing better to do will be in club!!!
