All of you employees of FTL should be happy to have a discount to begin with. My job (airline) when I first got hired we got to fly anywhere for free and then it stopped. We had to pay the taxes on the flight now don't get me wrong but I love the flight benefits but im more happy for a job much less a perk of flying.

Well cutting down the discounts will deter alot of employees from hooking folks up and copping stuff that retail paying customers should have access to... Think about it tho, employee tells the homies to cop the FSRs then they have them bring some pairs back after a week or so to return then re-cop on discount. I used to have friends that work at sneaker spots so I know the drill... Hell I used to work at Niketown myself so I'm just sayin...

Ok..
I understand some of it
But without a discount.. You can still hold pairs and give out fsr of release date shoes.. They can't be discount unless it's a employee discount.. No $10 or $15 off.
And you can't return release shoes anyway.

#1 Who spends more than $500 a month on discount anyway? Especially if they only make $7.25? (i worked for champs and bought stuff all the time, and still didnt average more than $200 a month)
#2 its called part time for a reason.

I'm for the workers on this one.
Getting a discount is major perk for working at Foot Locker. That job isnt that glamourous. Having to help dumb people try on shoes and dealing dumb sneakerheads( like you and me) that call them and ask them stupid questions. And all these customers look down at them but want them to be super friendly at the time. Granted I do get mad when they pull shady stuff for some big releases but at the end of the day it doesnt make me mad that long.I'm sure flipping a few shoes a month is how some of the smart employees survive.
People really cant put themselves in others shoes if yall worked at Foot Locker yall wouldnt like it either. What employee likes their benefits being taken away?

I personally get tired of goin to my local store and half the stock of certain shoes are "sold" before the doors even open on release day, So not to be a hater but im glad it might help me get my next pair easier because the employees used up his discount already

This..has happened to me a couple times. You call, ask how many they got, and then you get there when the doors open: pairs go from 40 to 20.

Wow..you know Sneakgeekz?
This idea has been goin around for a while..so it shouldn't b a shocker..who cares about losing hours for a discount..or the amount you spend..buy what you can within the 500 dollar limit..it's not hard..ration my friends..
I no longer work for the company so it doesn't apply to me..but i have plenty of hookups who will help me even when this goes down..I got outta the company while I still could..I no longer feel the need to work for minimum wage and get treated like crap by customers who think they know more than you..

Not everyone is part-time
Not everyone gets 7.25
Not everyone flips shoes or holds shoes
People have other jobs... FootLocker isn't everyones sole source of income.
And things add up
Like Feb. All those sneakers dropping.. Your bound to spend $500
And it's not $500 that you can buy period.. It's $500 you can buy discount.
Employees can still buy it full price.. Not all employees are cheap
They use their discount because they can and to save money.
Like if my limit of $500 is reached.. I'm still going to buy the shoe.. Full price
Not the people in this thread (maybe some of you) but Niketalk as a whole is full of cheapskates... You all want something for nothing.. Want crazy Hookups.. And/or want FTL Niketalk employees to pull rabbits out of they hats..
Or just wait for stuff to go on sale months later and complain that they don't have they size..
I'm just going to speak for me..
This discount thing really doesn't bother me, if my limit is reached.. I'll pay full price.
FootLocker is only my part-time
I have another job
I do feel bad for people who Count on discount to get kicks or whatever
And I still don't understand what a discount has to do with holding pairs for people or sell fsr early..
I think people would probably do it more for extra cash or buy the pairs and resell..
The $500 limit isn't going to stop people from helping more or selling early.

if you are complaining about only being able to spend $500 per month with your discount, then the fact that you make 7.25 an hour isn't your biggest problem.
if you can't live on what you are making, find a better job. nobody forces you to work at footlocker and its a job that takes zero technical skills, so why would they pay well? they know people only work there for the discount. mall jobs have always been low paying for the most part and always will be because footlocker as a corporation probably receives hundreds of thousands of applications every day from people who would be happy to work for the company at minimum wage. the company is in compliance with labor laws, so a protest would really only result in a PR issue that would more than likely get all parties involved fired.

i would not mind a 40% off discount all day, everyday. i won't be complaining.
