Face it. They are going to be depending on minimum wage, part-time employees to be key carriers and act as managers so they don't actually have to pay managers. They replaced ASMs with hourly supervisors, who are required to do the same amount of work with less hours and less pay. They replaced some supervisors with lower paid leads that are required to do the same work with NO manager hours and even less pay.
Now, they will just run the stores with people willing to do the same job as an ASM with no benefits, part-time hours and minimum wage.
And there will be people willing to do it.
