Timeline has been tedious for months , basically ever since they changed to the search for new opponent format . If it wasn ' t for the 200 weekly crystals I would happily skip it altogether . <| sep |> Was hoping for a Playstation Plus deal with the flash sale . Anyone have good leads on where to get some discounted USbased PS loving ? <| sep |> I ' ve literally never had a problem marking down my full $ 50 or more literally every shift for a year . If it ' s over $ 100 , I ' ll ask and usually get the goahead from management . Everything in the store is sold at 60120 % markup , especially flooring . When I say 100 % markup , I mean a $ 10 item costs the store $ 5 . If something secures a $ 35 k ticket , even if we break even or take a loss , it doesn ' t matter . There is value to large sales numbers , even if it ' s low margin . That ' s how Walmart works . That ' s a happy customer who will continue to spend thousands within your doors , that ' s a sale denied from the competition , and it raises your overall raw sales . I ' ve been given the go ahead to mark down dozens of remnants by an additional 4065 % i . e . 90 %, summing $ 1000 total markdown once to clear them out before inventory . Vinyl and Carpet are sold at a 100 % markup , so the overall loss on it is negligible , it made a ton of PROs happy , and they ended up buying tack strips and carpet pad anyway like 120 % markup . We made money on those . I had a customer buy some special order carpet we got back from a cancelled install , and sold it for an instock carpet install . A customer pulled off the Will Call sticker and bought it after convincing someone to sell it to them no one checked why there was special order carpet just sitting around without a tag or PO . I got the goahead to sell a standard install of the same carpet and just eat a $ 900 markdown in my mind , the original customer was to be protected , the second customer was the loss , so it was our duty to take that hit for them . I ended up getting a Homer Award for standing up for the customer . And we still made money on that carpet . 50 % off the sections they bought in the store breaks even , an extra 15 yards or so for another area 100 % markup , plus pad 120 % markup . And we denied a ~$ 2500 ticket for the competition . And the customer will come back to our store in the future . tldr $ 3 isn ' t even worth blinking an eye about .
