The managers would require employees to obtain 15+ emails from customers per 2 hour shift. This hindered us from fully utilizing our time to tidy up the store (do "go-backs") and also help customers get what they need quickly. I was often asked to stand by the door my whole shift and ask customers to trade their e-mail for a coupon ( which they could easily get on their phones.) a total waste of time that could have been used to help customers and so forth.

As a person in the framing department we are dealing with artwork worth anywhere from ten dollars to upwards of hundreds of dollars. Most of the frame shops in the stores have climate control issues. Shops are at the end of the AC system and get little to know air conditioning. No fans or air movers are allowed, and the humidity levels have been, roughly 50% or higher on a daily basis. Corporate framing doesn't seem to care about the potential damage to artwork, or framers trying not to drip sweat on artwork. Adhesives don't stick, laminates are activating on the rolls, and papers are curling, along with artwork stored in the shops for over a week. Not to mention the health issues associated with the high humidity environment. Unfortunately all the company (beyond the store mgr and AM) care about is the money. In the end world class is thrown out the window. If money is so important, we shouldn't have gone public. If the shares fall even a penny, we all have to now curtail spending. Well, framing takes supplies and those supplies can't be cut.
