I work at a local store and have seen a change, after I started in their stock program, and the expantion has been to much to fast. This has effected inventory and a turn over in the store with alot of management changes. This has caused confusion in the store and a lot of "way of doing business" changes. Look for it to continue to go down for next 3-6 months.

Things are tough at the store level with a 15% wage cut back for hourly employees .Remember the corprate office is doing ok. The sacrifices that are being made now will help. The bigger problem is keeping those shelves filled for shoppers. There was a town meeting that dealt with the expansion and how the corprate office is giving back to the community, and the corprate trainees have all stayed with the company. There will be a need to fast track managers to fill these new store openings. Sure there is pain with growth, the needs of the business dictate how those resources are allocated. I have seen things that make no sense to me at all, but somebody has a justification to do it. Remember one expansion 15 started yrs ago with just a few stores, and a few million dollars. Now it's 300 and billions
