I don't think it's so much "afraid" as it's them looking out for them and their people first. $500 gets gone quick, especially at 50% instead of 30%. Just say an employee (female) lets her boyfriend come through. He grabs Lebrons, AM2011's, and AM2011's for her. She already at $240 before her Mom or sister or cousin or best friend come through. And that's all she got for the rest of the month.
On the real, you can't fault dudes. The good ol' days are gone. Solid connects ain't so solid no more...
I got Trainer Huaraches (2 purr!), 993's, Cranberry's, Forces, Bo's, elite socks, Orions & cool greys for my nephews, Levi's Cargos, AM 09's (men and women), 95's for my girl... Chucks for my other girl

i feel you completely, i just can't stand it when employees look at me like im stupid when i mention the words "50% weekend" i've had some dudes in the past roll their eyes and tell me there's no such thing as a 50% weekend. i just don't like people lying to me in my face i take it as disrespect. those type of employees get shocked when i tell them that they could just be upfront and tell me they can't hook me up and i'd have no hard feelings but it's corny when you try and lie in someones face.
i have no problem with someone telling me upfront, "i can't because my $500 is already accounted for between me, family and friends" or "i'm not going to risk getting in trouble during this 50% by hooking people up"
i don't work for the company so im not entitled to anyones discount, so if i get shut down, it's not hard feelings as long as i get treated with the same respect and consideration i show the employee.
this past thursday i talked to a few different people in store and while i wasn't able to get any help this weekend from them due to them getting stuff for themselves, family, and close friends, i was pleased with how everything went talking to them considering that they were all open to helping me on the 30% in may and for future 50% weekends, and a dude on here that helped me out in the past came thru for me this weekend so i ended up being able to get what i wanted in the end.
i agree with the part about the good ol days being gone. 2008-09 seems so far away now when it was a 50% almost every monthbut if things stay the same way with the $500 limit on future 50%'s it's going to be tough to get hooked up consistently if you don't work for the company.

i've seen some stuff like that happen in person. some dudes are stupid and from working in retail in the past, i know for a fact it's alot of customers who could care less about an employees job, or care less about making things hot in the store as long as they get their discount and it ruins things. when i worked at lids, dudes would come up to me asking me for my discount in front of my manager, district manager, or just even other employees and i would just give them theOriginally Posted by AirAnt23
Ced... I dig where you coming from. And I'll believe that you're being respectful but keep in mind, the 5, 6, 7 dudes before you weren't. I was in stores where dudes was just wildin' out. Walking in the store like "Yo, can I use somebody 50% off?!?" LikeCustomers like "what 50% off?"Some dudes just !%!@ it up for everybody. Which is why the good days are so long gone. It ain't just they new CEO. It's the abuse that was going on before he took over... And word is, he gonna be in Charlotte for the Jordan Classic. If I see him I might ask him what's good.
