My SiL manages a women's clothing store and has a sales girl that is
hopelessly stupid. She would fire her but feels sorry for her. The
girl offered someone 100% off on a purchase and SiL had to step in and
explain to here that 100% meant it was free. She was left in charge
when SIL took a few days off she had to leave her in charge. She told
SIL the they did great while she was away but a review of the numbers
showed that sales were down $5,000 from the same week the year before.
She could not get it through to the girl that $5,000 lower slaes is
worse, not better.
