  1. monopolize and no raises for "the what you think are always replaceable people" I think what I do is important, I love my job, I think customers are no. 1 average ticket is a big down fall to customers I see almost daily if a bag is brought back in its hell oh my god not a return, It should never be a person that hated a product and got attitude for their return. so wrong
