  • Oh, Come ON, Corporate.

    $84 million lost last quarter, the shutting down of a bunch of stores out west, dire predictions of being like a sinking ship with cheerful "Oh no we're A-OK! *beam!*" messages in the company newsrag from the CEO, and what does Aid of Rite think is a good thing to do?

    Start a GAME.

    In the heart of winter.

    When people lack money ANYWAY because of holiday bills to pay.

    With big, expensive prizes like a full cruise, a mortgage, makeover for a room, instant cash prizes and fancy electronics to GIVE AWAY.

    Yes, Corporate Suit who thought about this, it will be fun. For you. See, you don't have to deal with bitchy customers who will bitch bitch bitch that they didn't get their instant win tickets, or the right ticket for the right slot on their board, or game boards period, or wondering if we will lick their stamps to stick to the game board and address it for them, and what do you MEAN us lowly blue vests don't have the form to claim your BIG WINNING PRIZE and we have to see a manager to get you your precious forms? That's just horrible customer service! Humph!

    If Aid of Rite was richer and not, y'know, flushing itself down the toilet, I wouldn't care. But even the customers are coming in and giving me amounts of how much the company lost last quarter or that past year. Really, who thought of this and WHY? This won't make money. It will create more stress and headache for us while the customers buy whatever product required for the tickets, mail in the form and return the product.

    It's cute how you think those things even entered the minds of the suits who came up with it. No, this is going to cause people to empty their purses and wallets at the Aid of Rite and shuffle off, because they will have more chances to win those cruises, mortgages, electronics and MONEH MONEH MONEH.

    I pity you being on a sinking ship like that. Just keep surviving is about all the advice I can give you.
