I would say any time there's an issue you want fixed that your server won't or can't do for you. Follow the chain of command here. If your server can fix it why ask for a manager? It's just going to take longer for them to get to you, figure out the problem and fix it.Calling a manager over the slightest little thing is silly if your server can handle it quicker. And I assure you if your server CAN fix it, they can do it faster than the manager. They use every tool in their box everyday. They probably fix the exact problem you're asking to be fixed more often than the manager. On top of that if they CAN'T fix the problem, your server telling the manager the situation can probably get it all fixed in the back quicker than you can explain the problem to the manager.Basically your server can probably fix anything for you quicker. And if they can't they will WANT to pawn you off to the manager the moment they realize they're in over their head so you shouldn't even have to ask for one.
Manager "banned" me from the store?
It's all perfectly legal. The manager can also fire the employee without giving a reason, but if they have forbade them from speaking to you, they would have cause. Being fired for cause means you don't get unemployment while you're looking for another job. The inside of a store, and in a lot of cases, the front apron and parking lot, are private property. You can be banned from anyplace by a person of authority - including this manager. If you return, they can call police and have you arrested for trespassing. You don't want that. Go shop somewhere else.
When I was 16, I walked into a chain store in Limerick, Ireland and held in my hand a colorful yellow plastic bicycle chain protector (it clips directly to the chain) which a neighbour had designed. Something like this:I asked for the manager and explained that I had cycled my bike here with it, didn’t have to roll-up my pant-leg and said another kid asked me about it as I locked my bike (which was true).He held it in his hand, looked at me, asked what the ‘price-point’ was. I told him what I thought was the wholesale price. He nodded then said ‘yeah, I’ll take a gross”. I didn’t even know what a gross was, but I knew it was more than one and it made me ecstatic. It was my first sale.So yes, be bold and just literally walk in and speak to the manager. If they require appointments or if there is a buyer process, you’ll find out when you walk in. You may not get lucky on your first. But after two weeks and 100 stores (5 a day over two weeks) you’ll have learned 80% of what it takes to sell your product into retail.Goethe’s quote is useful here:Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.

How should a person react to a rude cashier?
What do you do when a cashier is rude? Leave your things and walk away, making them put it back? Ask for a manager? Just not make a scene, and write a complaint letter to the store when you get home? What is the best course to take, without blowing it out of proportion? Tonight I ran a debit card and accidently hit yes to cash back, total mistake. I had to cancel and rerun the card. Nobody else was in ilne behind me, It only took another 3 seconds, and I literally got scolded and chewed out. She asked if I could read, and asked if I didn't want cash back why did I hit cash back. The girl was extremely snotty and condescending and snarked at me quite a bit. In fact I think she wasted more time than I did. Usually when I cashier is rude I say nothing, but then when it is time to shop again, the memory of the unpleasant transaction motivates me to shop at another store instead, even if I have to drive further and pay more.
I have an interview at a sex toy shop...what kind of questions will they ask me?
Well, this has to be one of the best questions I've seen in a while. Chances are the employer will want to verify a number of items including your reliability, maturity, and experience in the field. Since the position is in a sex shop it is best you do some online research regarding adult sex toys and latest DVD movies. There are plenty of sites you can visit to provide you with a working knowledge of the vocabulary and product lines. In addition, I am sure he/she will want to gage your responses to the questions and ability to handle... shall we say sexually orientated questions by customers regarding the products and use. In any case its bound to be a hoot. Enjoy the experience.
What can we do about rude store employees? Even managers?
Yep, they do it because they can. There is no law prohibiting rude behavior (unless it is threatening or directed at a protected class like race or national origin, but that gets complicated and I don't think that's your question). What you can do is shop elsewhere. No, it doesn't give you any sense of satisfaction. Business is run for profit and what you can do is appeal to the owners. (Unless the rude employees ARE the owners!) Write a letter to the owner describing (in very factual, unemotional terms) the problems at the store. Say you and many of your friends are so disturbed by the attitudes of the staff you will no longer shop there, unless something is done to correct their rude behaviors. Say that you probably represent many more people (unknown to you) who feel the same way. Pose the question, "If you're losing my business, the business of my friends and family, how many others may refuse to shop at your store for similar reasons and how much profit do you lose because of the demeanor of your staff?"
A product is currently made in a process-focused shop?
A product is currently made in a process-focused shop, where fixed costs are $8,000 per year and variable cost is $40 per unit. The firm currently sells 200 units of the product at $200 per unit. A manager is considering a repetitive focus to lower costs (and lower prices, thus raising demand). The costs of this proposed shop are fixed costs = $24,000 per year and variable costs = $10 per unit. If a price of $80 will allow 400 units to be sold, what profit (or loss) can this proposed new process expect? Do you anticipate that the manager will want to change the process? Explain. Plz show all work.
I took the trouble to look at the answers before I applied myself to this question:It may seem trite to ask it, and as I don't live in the UK or US, I have no personal experience of the chain, so I have no personal comment to make.However, the questioner demonstrates a reality which is a burgeoning opportunity awaiting someone to 'take it up'!Around the world, lip-service is paid to customer service - it's simply because the cost of dealing with individual issues at this level has become prohibitively expensive.So, phone lines come down, email addresses vanish, and everybody pretends the 'facebook' comments are the complete answer.Of course, it's not. I have yet to find a useful application that would make me engage on this 'advertising inspired' piece of universal panacea.Facebook is an obvious candidate as the application most influencial in destroying the art of conversation - a virtual 'black hole' for communication.My advice, have nothing to do with it.However, businesses still fail to impress, still avoid providing outstanding customer service, and perpetuate poor products with no recourse to their customers.I have not yet formulated an answer to the open question, more than that asked, "who do I talk to about poor customer service?", but its obvious that somebody must start to take notice, because fantastic opportunities to improve and excel are 'going begging'!I submit this as one of the most important questions to be dealt with in business at the moment, and open the Forum to ideas.rafe
