to those who are on the outside looking in when these weekends come around, rather then post in here asking for hookups and getting banned or suspended just use common sense between now and saturday.
go in your local footlocker/footaction/champs friday or saturday you can go tomorrow if you wanna plan in advance to be good for the weekend. pull a randon employee to the side that seems like their cool. best bet is to go for younger employees. tell them you know theirs a 50% this weekend and would like to get their discount and in return you'll take care of them. do this discretely though so that you don't put it out there for everyone else to hear. if they turn you down, they turn you down, nothing you can do about it but it usually has a 70% success percentage.
remember most footlocker employees make close to minimum wage so any employee with any common sense would jump at the chance to make a few hours of pay for doing the simple task of sharing there discount with you.
remember it's cash only and when doing this know whats excluded, know what you want, and know the deal ahead of time so that you'll have a better chance being successful when talking to employees.
id be sad to see it go or become more of a hassle because people get greedy and employees get caught
i'm just posting the truth though, and trying to save a bunch of people from getting banned or suspended over asking people to hook them up.
truthfully every 50% thread is the same. some people either work for the company or have friends who do and a good 6 pages is people talkin about what their going to get and what they hope isn't excluded. the other 4 pages is people wanting to get the hookup and either asking other members to hook them up or thinking they can just go in a store and expect to get the hookup for free. in my opinion whenever theres a 50% once its confirmed the dates and exclusion list should be posted and then have it locked at the top of the nike section for the weekend. everyones on their own when it comes to getting their stuff.
its just when you post something like the earlier statement to help people out, it can also be detrimental because if lurkers and everyone start going into stores asking for the discount and catch a newb or someone just $$ hungry, they could slip and get caught up in something. If it goes on then next thing you know the 50 only comes around 2x a year and employees are not as "appreciated" (also considering they usually make under minimum+commission and work hard for their company so these 50s are blessings from the regular discount)
i would love to see the confirmed exclusion list and date on one post and lock it up but then you couldnt help people out with where to go for a certain shoe or something like that (just info not buying and selling)...all this would end up in the SKU thread or the OUTLET thread and clutter that up more than we would need...so i dont mind leaving this thread open for me to search for the exclusion list and date, make a couple calls to actually confirm and go from there....i dont even read half the pages until i come to a post like this
