How low will it go?, page-52

DSH1: 1 staff member, no customers. More staff appeared a bit later, still only me there. Staff member was helpful but not knowledgeable. Store well stocked but they say they don't move much due to location. Staff not very happy.
DSH 2: Entrance like a closed nightclub, sticky tape hanging off walls paint peeling. Bigger store, 4 staff I could see but two were messing with displays. Didn't get approached. Tried to sell me some stuff with the 'supplier raising prices soon' line. Better knowledge and a coupe of other customers, limited stock on floor and said they didn't have more out back but lots of new stock on order. Staff livelier (with each other), but still not happy.

went into JBH to compare. Great staff, very helpful, one girl was singing and skipping. Only a couple of other customers still. More stock, more eye catching displays, happy staff.

Conclusion: Didn't invest as felt they were under motivated and underinvesting, if no understaffed for current WA economy. Customer numbers were bad everywhere, so can't conclude anything based on a small WA sample.

Got back into CCP instead.
