Possible Bad News Concerning FL Employee Appreciation And Employee Discount

[thacamel]

The Champs in my mall had their audit today, and the auditor told the manager that Footlocker, Inc was about to change their employee discount policy. He said that they were about to go to a system where all employees are given a card, which they will use to clock in, take breaks, etc. They will have to have this card to get a discount. He said that Employee Appreciation would be limited to 2-3 times per year, and the 30% off employee discount would be limited to $500 per month. Anyone else hear anything like this. My manager was there and he said the same thing

The switch to a card is true. It will happen sometime soon, dont know when. But I havent heard anything about only 2-3 EAs a month, or anything about a 30% limit.

I don't believe the 2-3 times per year thing, their companies are suffering so bad that they need to have these sales often to make sales. These employee 50% off sales aren't for us, its for them.

said it in a few threads already and they don't make as much as you think off the 50's....trust...if they did they wouldn't change the system...yea you get product off, but that shrinks your bottom line...

$500 per month isn't bad at all.

That's 6K per year......double what FINL sales assoc can spend.

I believe they are switching to the cards because a lot of ex employees are still able to use their paystub when trying to get a discount at another store. I've seen people use their paystub to get discounts even months after not being with the company.

Damn Abernja - I remember when you barely beat me to the punch to buy those Voltage Foams off here... for like $150. And now you're selling (or trying to) for $475! Wow, after the swoosh fell off too.

Ha I can't know the hustle.

true...but unless that $500/month is going to roll over, the FNL discount is going to be a better deal

  This also.  I've seen a couple former employees come into the store with an old paystub, cross paths with an old manager, get exposed, and then get arrested on the spot.
