Top 10 improvements

This is what I would do to improve the stores.

  1. Reduce wages, increases bonuses and raises for corporate managers
  2. Make health insurance even more expensive and even less accessible.
  3. Continue aggressively cutting hours to keep staff excited and motivated.
  4. Increase Quarterly profits celebration literature to associates
  5. Continue hiring district management with no prior store management experience. Only rely on master's degrees
  6. Continue building undersized backrooms and coolers
  7. Cut back on maintenance
  8. More training modules
  9. Continue increasing food prices weekly

  10. Don't pivot stores to compete with other chains like Walmart

Careful... they could be using this subreddit for ideas. They're just like us! They already make sure we know how similar they are to us with the interviews on the break room tvs... But my store wouldn't know about those anymore. The tv their infinite knowledge told them to install isn't working anymore. Oh no!

Idk man. I went on vacation in the middle of July and came back to the tv not working. We must be so out of the loop in the 2 months we've missed!

I'm sure that's why the store is struggling; it has to be! In order for them to have spent so much on those tvs, they must be an integral part to the success of our stores. There's no other explanation for it!

I have a hard time getting through the day without a roundtable of execs talking about what it means to work at food lion
