retailers suck at being retailers

As salemen, you should probably try to idk sale something. Not sit behind the counter or just stocking all day when there are possible customers in your department that with a bit of discussion you can probably get them to buy things they didnt even come in to get.

If a person is not working off of commision, I don't really consider them a salesman. How good would you expect your service in a restaurant if your waiter worked off a shitty salary rather than the opportunity for a nice tip from you? I don't blame them for being apathetic towards their jobs. I would be too in their position.

 

 

now WalMart makes our quarterly bonus based on our profits for the quarter so really if we want a bonus of over $30 so there should be a bit of motivation in store to get a $300+ bonus.

A single associate is not going to equate that with doing good sales work, since they need to rely on the collective group to get a good bonus. When they see others slacking off, it's defeating to actually give a shit and try in that environment, knowing they could give 110% and still end up with a $30 bonus for three months.
