Way more random price increases than I've ever seen before. Suddenly stuff goes up 250 dollars for no apparent reason. Very frustrating when you tell someone a promo runs for X days. And then it changes.

Also a lot of our BF stuff wasn't ringing up the right price. Any more they require an approval for a 2 dollar adjustment.

Yeah it was a serious pain, the 19 inch Sharp advertised at $179 is continually coming up in the register at $199. There's nothing more frustrating than holding a sign with a sale price that's dated as current and a manager giving guff over the override.

Its probably a way to latter write you up and possibly fire you - wrong sign and override - which even tho you don't do signs and the manager overrides it with an approval card - it will bite the associate in the butt. At this point I don't trust anything that is going on in this company.

The problem is that with inadequate follow through even though everyone might be 'forgiven' now if these issues aren't official delt with on the record everybody's ACR is gonna look like crap at the end of the month & year for this stuff.

I used to HATE signing electronics in 4th quarter. Price changes nearly everyday as the company tries to match prices and whatnot.

I'd go and set something...check alerts and what do you know, they decided to change the price.
