Yeah if you were nice to us we basically would do crap like that. Assholes got no leeway though.

Our own store actually did quite well. We had consistently improving numbers and were managed pretty good on a small level. Our building's lease was super cheap and we were the only decent sporting goods store in an area that included around 7 high schools. Not to toot my own horn but we had pretty good sales. It was every other store in the company that sucked. We did nothing wrong ;)

Not that I know of. There was a rather large theft scandal a few months before the bankruptcy, but that wasn't related.

However, there was a certain room in the back that gathered a lot of items that were saved until discount prices reached 90-95% off.......

It was probably a split down the middle between the two options. A lot of us were actually college students, so hanging on to the end and then going back to school wasn't a bad option. The managers were also promised severance so they stayed on. Until they found out how little it was going to be. After that, they immediately looked for new jobs and the manager positions basically became a revolving door.
