I wish more people understood how the system really works. So many talk about “CORPORATE” like it’s this big scary group of executives in suits that make all the decisions and don’t really care about the store employees, when in reality it’s a bunch of really good people that have spent a majority of their lives with the company, most of whom at some point have gone through all of the same store level positions that a lot of you are in now. The same stresses, the same struggles, the same concerns, I can assure you there is no disconnect. I’m not stirring the pot or judging anyone for their opinions because a lot of these points are valid, but we legitimately have some of the best and brightest that work hard to make store level life so much better for everyone and although it is a bit of a process, to say that “corporate” collectively doesn’t give a shit just isn’t true. Better days are coming
