I normally love 5 Below and I want to make it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR to management specifically that this is a YOU problem, it has nothing to do with your employees who have been nothing but wonderful since this location opened. You need to stop forcing them to scream"WELCOME TO 5 BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Whenever a single person walks in. It's grating, irritating, insincere and literally.akes me avoid the place unless I NEED something from there. You also really need to stop demanding that employees stand 3 inches behind customers checking out and loudly checking to see if we need bags. It's really creepy. I get that people probably steal from y'all or whatever but I would genuinely suggest hiring a loss prevention officer to watch cameras or something instead of crawling up employees asses to do so. You're paying these people minimum wage and putting them is incredibly uncomfortable positions, not to mention your clients, who make you money. Please reconsider your business model for this particular location; it's veryyyy creepy right now. And again, you have no one but management to blame for this, please don't try and accuse your employees of bad service. As someone who has been in the service industry for years, I can tell when management has grossly unreasonable and stupid expectations. Get it together. read more
