I sold TVs at a Sears back when I was in high school and employees got commission on sales. Back then at least the people selling appliances did alright. Went back after college and it was a ghost town. I imagine they were doomed either way, but always wondered if dropping commissions hastened their demise.

I sold TVs there too! For a high school kid, I was making great money. But ya, it was pretty obvious it was coming.

I remember our stock tracking was always way off, so I had to always go check for stuff before I sold it. I found out a few years later that the loss prevention team was stealing stuff regularly 🤣
