So my company is very competitive. There is always /some/ prize for being better at selling acid-washed toddler jeans than the store in Simi Valley can possibly imagine. We're not just in a vicious battle against Osh Kosh and BabyGap, but also, are bitterly feuding between each district. As of the time I'm writing this, if Camarillo Premium Outlet The Children's Place gets more phone compliance and credit card accounts set up than the other five kajillion stores do, our manager gets a new car. I know, I'm inspired, too. Children's Place, ftw! If we win, yours truly gets a Coach keychain. I'm excited. I mean, a keychain is nifty, but I'd REALLY prefer it if Rita got a new car.
So, The Childre's Place is a hotbed of nasty infighting and sabotage. It leads me to the one, obvious question-
Why doesn't The Children's Place go One Workforce By Night? I know I'd be inspired to work harder if I knew I could go down to San Diego and torch their store while enslaving the cashiers. The managers would be diablerized outright; there's no reason to waste their experience, and I could go from 11th generation cash/wrap to 9th generation assistant manager in the space of six rounds of Rock Paper Scissors.
