Reply #50: Well, of course I'm on record as saying I don't judge where

people shop. I mean, who am I?

Obviously I was there, and as I mentioned, two of my friends work at the store I was at as managers.

And they have nothing but great things to say about the place, so I dunno.

I just assumed it was one of those "oh you don't have to participate, but don't expect to advance within the company if you don't want to be a team player" kinda situation.

But now I learn it's not mandatory.

It just seemed like there were a ton of people from the grocery section gathered to take part in the motivational exercise for it to be voluntary. I'm not sure what I'd get out of it if I worked there.

Of course, I say provide better wages/health insurance and the motivational exercise would be a mute point!! ;)
