This is why our society is screwed. All these retail outlets have this restaurant hierarchy where your either a manager or worker. Then they get some Gung ho a## to be a district manager to enforce a unworkable system where profits take precedence over training, advancement or even meeting the daily routine. Look at Walmart stores. Designed with 30 cashier stations but never utilized. I feel sorry for the Smos that have to become store managers. What they need to teach in school is financial freedom.
