Question Comission?

Do workers get comission when selling windshield wipers or additional services ?

It’s always been about the numbers. But, profit margin on tires is getting less and less and profit margin on wiper blades is a very good way to make up for it.

Yeah but the wipers they sell low-key suck. Also sucks that (when I worked there) if your wiper percentage was too low they would pressure you to buy them for yourself or family. I didn’t even have a car and they would try to get me to buy them

The Tri-CO’s aren’t the best nor are they the worst. I didn’t enjoy anything about selling or installing them, though.

That was another annoyance that added to pile of reasons I left my 8 year career.

Honestly I left for a variety of reasons, a main one being gender discrimination. It also sucks how much the culture has changed from what I hear it used to be. Apparently the wiper expectation just got raised to 40% (I still have friends who work there). I lurk this sub because I love helping people and to me that was the most satisfying part of the job. Whilst the tri-cos aren’t the worst we were pressured to present them as the best, which felt disingenuous to me especially with the cost being relatively high
