| The Number 5 |

At my store they take the secret shops very seriously. I got "shopped" during the most recent period. I got a 4. 5 is the best one can do. Accordingly, I didn't smile enough to their satisfaction. I've just never been a big smiler. Nobody, or only 1 person, got a 5 out of everyone that got shopped. The logical conclusion by the store director is of course that the whole store has just gone to pot. It is not that just maybe the shopper is a fickle asshole, it's all us.
Today I got called into the office for a little "pep talk." All of the baggers are getting them. Again, I sincerely doubt he's going to make a point of talking to everyone in the other departments, just us silly, addle-brained baggers. Also, pestering someone in private about their score is considered harassment by the union. Along those lines, if he had pissed me off enough, there is nothing in the world stopping me from saying he touched me somehow; nobody else was in there. I won't do that. But somebody told me exactly why he got his panties in a bunch: his bonus is directly affected by the number of 5's his employees make. That means if I do well, he gets more money. But what do I get? Not a chance of a promotion, a pay increase, bonus, etc. My motivation for doing well is a tiny cloisonné pin, and the chance to win a gift card. Wow. That's awesome. So I am not letting someone's opinion of me bother me (I don't think I need to reiterate how I feel about opinions) and I don't think that helping my boss who already pockets extra funds when he can, or a tiny pin is enough motivation for me to smile more that I already do. In conclusion, as always, I need a new job where I am respected. And I hope he gets a 3 the next time he gets shopped just like the last time he did. A pin! Hmph! I got 2 free pins in Disney World! I didn't have to smile more for them, one was Cast Exclusive (and ). Nobody directly profited from my success there! I also got a Cast discount. Went up to 40% during the holidays! |
