Gratchthegears sells cellphones in Wal-Mart. He's run the numbers, and found out that in store public announcements do not affect sales of cell phones:
I work at wal-mart, I sell cell phones there. It is not a bad job I like it, I just don't like the company I work for. Well I like crunching numbers while I am doing nothing else at work. I was looking at the number of PA vs sells and they show no effect on each other. One month we did 300 PA and that month we sold the second most for the year. Another month we did 0 PA and we sold the most phones in a month for the year.No, it's amazing that they're not listening to you.It was good proof it also supported my believe that PAs are a waste of time and no one listens to them. (In fact before I started working there I had no idea the did that many PAs and I can't remember listening to a one of them.) I told my bosses what I thought and showed them what proof I had. Of course they did not care what I had to say.
Well we just got an order to... guess what... STOP DOING PAs! You know why? Because they are a waste of time and no one listens to them. Amazing that I know what I was talking about.
