Unfortunately for you, the measurement of who is a good owner or bad owner is not for you to decide.
Faker reps, not likely. There is atleast two of us on here posting regularly that are owners.
What makes a good owner? Someone who runs a clean organized store that keeps customers happy, and keeps them coming back. the store is full, fresh with new items on sale each week and has a core group of staff that like working with customers, and that like to work where they do. Of course it has to meet the standards set out by the Corporation and.... it must be profitable as well.
If your thought is that we're bad owners because we argue on here with customers and ct employees, that's a shitty metric. Here's why. The whiners on here are not customers providing constructive criticism with the intent to help stores improve where they can. It's been made very clear that the intent is to sink Canadian Tire, oh by the way good luck with that lol. Customers who actually want to have discussions about things that go wrong, those are the ones we listen to. On here, no matter what we say, you all call us liars, assume we are wrong and i don't recall even once a ct hater on here ever changing even a single opinion one time or realizing they could be wrong. The worst case of stubbornness i've ever witnessed.
Ditto for the current or ex employees who come here to whine. nobody forced any of them to work at a ct store. they are in a situation for whatever circumstance(s) that this is the role they have ended up in. the common complaints, underpaid, overworked, managers that don't bring in enough staff. Guess what, we know what it takes to do the job. A lot of us worked our way from stockers to managers to owners over the years. If they are not happy, they are free to move on, but nobody is in a position to say how many staff is needed to run a store on any given day except the management team and me. This is typical of people who see in their own mind that retail is a last resort and not a real job. They will behave and perform accordingly. those who come to work ready to work, committed to doing a good job and happy to be employed, they will outproduce the self professed over qualified whiners 10-1.
