Wait, what? The loss prevention people wanted you to not prevent loss?
- danielfoster 6y agoI guess they would take away the commission for this sale and maybe question past sales?
- Spooky23 6y agoNo, they would basically interrogate you. Sitting in some windowless office at $5.75 an hour for two hours basically cost me $100-300 in commissions from lost sales. Those jobs were great in the 90s. One year I paid for my College tuition in the week before Christmas.
- S_A_P 6y agoahh the good old days when college tuition was actually reasonably affordable. My tuition at Texas A&M was IIRC between 1 and 3 grand a semester...
