Attention All Footlocker Footaction Champs Employees You are about to be screwed!!!!

Wow, lot's of ignorance on here, so I guess I need to set the record straight.  FIRST, I am a Footaction Manager, and I make 56k a year.  SECOND my partimers get $7.25hr PLUS commission, which in my store they all average about  $9.5 hour, and remember, they are PART TIMERS.  These are mostly highschool and college kids or people who need a second job, they are not depending on paying a mortgage with it.  Third, Footlocker INC may not put stuff on sale as much as Finishline because THEY DON'T HAVE TO.  Finishline buys things with cash, they need to move it quick to get new product, FTL INC uses CREDIT.  If something don't sell, they just send it back.  Trust me, FTL INC isn't hurting, they just spent 30 Mil on a new computer schedule system,they are putting new computers in all stores, and are giving bigger stores IPAD's to use, so as a company we aren't going anywhere.  Oh yea, and if one of my ungrateful employees complains about the discount, I have a folder with about 200 applicants waiting to take their place.

Stop it...if your spending more then $500 a month on sneakers...EVERY month...WITH a discount...your either FLOODING your local hood..or FLOODING eBay....

And as far as organizing sneaker heads together in protest...

what does that even MEAN??? People are going to burn sneakers and bras in front of FTL so you can get WHAT exactly????
thank you. no disrespect but priorities are priorities. instead of buying over 500 dollars in kicks to flip you can go find another part time job. everyone always looking for the easy way out.

And people wonder why they call Americans lazy...

@ this thread. I mainly buy my kicks online via Ebay, resellers etc, so it doesn't matter to me. Dudes gettin tight in this threat defending the zebra stripes.

Where's Cedric Ceballos 1994 1995, so he can share his opinion on this minimum wage buffoonery.

500 is prob for part timers and such

im sure AMs/Managers are gonna have a higher ceiling

and the 50 would be just that $1000 for that 2 - 3 day limit and not count towards the 500

i heard the rumblings of 40% all the time and no 50%s at all similar to nike

the funny thing is about bulk buying is that Footlocker INC knows it goes on and the DMs/VPs talk about it to their managers but then they frown upon it
