“Oh, by the way?... if you’re ever greeted by multiple associates —————”

I wish-—I’m usually looking for one. :-)

Haha! So true. They will cut hours early in the week (Monday thru Thursday) if their numbers are down and often some departments wouldn’t have anybody scheduled so they ask an associate from a neighboring department to cover. They track store sales and department sales daily. Some managers will even check two or three times a day and cut hours accordingly. There is a running quarterly competition between stores in the districts and the managers get some pretty nice bonuses if their store finishes on top. The associate bonuses, after taxes, eh, not so much. Maybe a couple of tanks of gas.
But walk into HD wearing a heavy coat in 80 degree weather and you’ll find an associate real quick. ;-)
