Shit.

You know, stories like that are the reason I'm so glad to have an office job where I don't have to sell anything let alone EPP.

When I worked at the Chesterfield, we sold inexpensive (really, terribly inexpensive) DVD players. And the system would prompt us to ask if they wanted an EPP (I think they were PRPs in our system...) I think, in my 5 years of working there, I only ever talked two people into buying the precious PRPs, cause our DVD players were absolutely junk. If they didn't fail before you opened the box, it would probably happen a few weeks later, and thus, covered by manufacturers warranty. Of course, it probably doesn't hurt that we only ever sold those DVD players once in a blue moon, unless it was the Christmas rush.

Well, the front end reached 21 first, so all the cashiers, service desk people, etc. got their breaks-in-a-bag.

They got screwed, IMO. Instead of a soda they got a bottled water. Guess it was cheaper and/or more motivational to just buy a 24-pack of bottled water and break it up.

And a small bag of chips and a small candy bar, in a somewhat large-ish paper bag (as in bigger than a lunch bag but smaller than a grocery bag).

Does my company know how to motivate its employees to greatness or what?

a 20-oz soda, a bag of chips, and a candy bar.

yeah i'd be motivated.... to just pull some money out of my pocket and buy myself the snack and say "screw this" about the policy-push.

wanna convince me to push a policy? give me a real bonus like... (cue in that guy who announces the prizes from price is right) A NEW CAR!

but seriously... the policy costs at least what... somewhere between 30 to 100 depending on how good it is... and all they'll give for pushing 21+ of them is a snack worth less than 5 bucks? screw that
