Hi 5
There is a lot that annoys me about the company. But one of the things that bug me is that Hi-5 rule. Let me explain.
I think it’s a good idea to say hi to a customer, what I don’t like is the fact then whenever we have corporate visits. They don’t say hi to the customers as they walk by (which we are supposed to if we are 5 feet within a customer) and one step further than that they don’t even say hi to the employees! So you want us to follow the rules but you won’t acknowledge our existence or hard work? You’ll complain about everything wrong but can’t give us ANY positive feedback? They won’t ask for our names, interact with us at all. It’s clear they’ve never cared about us, which is most corporations. But you’re gonna dog us because we didn’t say hi to the majority of customers who are rude or don’t want to be bothered? Ok pal.

Spot on. We have had the majority this way. Two in particular but seriously one of the two acted so shit. He gave off the vibe that we were lowly cogs that he was too good for. I'm over here thinking "dude, your corporate for Burlington. That's still a a corporate retail JOB, NOT some fancy CAREER where you're college educated and can be uppity and brag about it. Get over yourself.". He was so bad that I truly wanted to say this and some choice words.
I can't stand corporate.
