"Although some members of corporate wanted to move forward and try new methods of conducting business to be more customer friendly, the ownership was real traditional so it created some sort of constant contradiction when they tried to run the stores. Management in stores were encouraged to be creative to drive sales, but maintain strict traditional business practices that were really out of date. Almost like you had to find a way to increase your sales in the 21st century using 19th century sales tactics."

"None. Management just follows corporate direction. Corporate should give a little more flexibility to the store's management and let the sales speak for the progress.
