Biggest reason why I don't work for Autozone anymore... NO! And on top of that they have the balls to frown upon accepting tips from customers when you actually go install a battery in the freezing snow storm.Wait you guys get commission?
No, but having a high ticket average, and a high monthly average keeps the boss out of your ass and typically nets you more than 3% on your annual merit raise.Wait you guys get commission?
I'm not lazy or scared. It's just rude for them to demand me to do something that I'm not really supposed to do (according to the company). Not to mention that they blame you if their wiper or whatever breaks.and this is why illegal mexicans take jobs. they're not too lazy to install wiper refills or install bulbs or check anything else for that matter. They're not scared of rain, sleat or snow and they don't complain much.
Yep.Biggest reason why I don't work for Autozone anymore... NO! And on top of that they have the balls to frown upon accepting tips from customers when you actually go install a battery in the freezing snow storm.
Yep. Granted I really don't care who I beat.No, but having a high ticket average, and a high monthly average keeps the boss out of your ass and typically nets you more than 3% on your annual merit raise.
Plus it's a competitive thing. You don't want that douchebag Ford guy to out-sell you and since he's the guy everyone comes to for Ford parts and advice, he's already got a leg up.
Honda wiper refills on a Honda wiper is easy as s**t.you guys must really suck at wiper refills
thats part of what i do at work to the cars that are on maintenance plans
they take like 2 minutes...
i dont work at a parts store though.
It means you want to sell the more expensive products and more items each time you ring someone out.WTF is a high ticket average?
I get payed commission, but its different for every product. I just sold a custom computer that payed me 1% of what the customer payed.
Commission drops FTL.

I don't install refills because they often take a lot of time and there's a fair chance the wipers will break. Not to mention it can cut your hands up when you're bending those little metal pieces all around. If the customer wants them that badly, they can put them on their own car.
How do they keep track of what items you sell? Everytime I buy s**t there, I just walk it up to the counter. Offering terminal protectant, or bulb grease isnt too bad. Itll be an easy few dollars for the store to keep.It means you want to sell the more expensive products and more items each time you ring someone out.
It goes so far that if you want to buy a soda or snack, managers will encourage you to ring every other employee out at the same time so you have more than one or two items being rang out.
Not to mention WITTDTJR (What It Takes to Do the Job Right). yes, we HAVE to ask you if you want terminal protectant or bulb grease or brake cleaner.
Here's a site talking about ticket averages too.

At my job, we give "quotes". Which is a piece of paper with our names, product code, product description, total price, customer name and a BARCODE. The customer then hands the quote to the cashier and we get payed. If the customer drops the quote, or leaves in the cart, there goes our commission.
Where do you work again??All Autozone employees are assigned to a register for the day. Each person has their own (occasionally they overlap though).
In order to access the register, you need to put in your password every time. You have to put that in even before you scan any items. It's really quick though.
So my number, employee ID, name, etc. is connected to every sale I make.
So the computers keep track of my sales, how much was spent, what was sold, etc.
So it would work like this:
You come in and buy some wax. You walk to the register and I greet you. I might ask you if you want hand cleaner or shop towels (those are the two items that are WITTTDTJR for all items sold), or I might ask you if you have any microfiber towels, car wash, etc. Something related.
You decide if you want to buy anything else and lay it on the counter top.
I typed in my password while I was asking you if you wanted anything else.
I scan the items, tell you the total and you pay. I give you the receipt and wish you well, bag your items, etc.
Do you work at Radioshack?Where do you work again??
It seems easier for you to get your sales, because some people dont want to take the quote I give them because they know I get payed on commission and they dont like ti.
Where I work, the average item would pay about $2. Say for example, an external hard drive. It would pay me $2 commission. They encourage us to accessorize them. Which means to add a bag, fire wire cable and a warranty. The bag and cable would pay at the MOST .25 cents which is not enough to get us to sell it so none of us do. We DO try and sell the warranty because it pays us 15%.
O'Reilly recently acquired Checker Auto Parts, Schuck's Auto Supply, Kragen Auto Parts and Murray's Discount Auto Stores.autozone has the best prices at a parts store around here. kragen is like the savemart of auto parts.
I'd say that probably has to do with what you're buying and where the stores might be located.Not to thread track or derail this thread, but which prices are the best?
I tend to like Advanced Auto Parts
Pepboys seems to have the highest prices, but have the biggest selection...
