For the 30 hours a week I'm there...."It's MY store" IF I actually owned the store I would expect any employee to feel the same. (That's the attitude that generates midyear and $3500 Christmas bonuses)

Besides the way the store is run we are all managers and partake in choosing what to carry, order product (which really messes with the vendor's heads they don't know who's ass to kiss and when) The owners deals exclusively with Yamaha Piano Division. The rest of us call in orders as we see a need of give them to our routine order guy. We determine pricing and when to make a sale at what price. We all take ownership of the store. have a couple "meetings" a year maybe LOL. Pretty loose for a 7 day a week 12 hour a day store in a MAll. But it works and has worked long before I got there. I would not work for a store that was run with an iron fist owner with approval processes and procedures for everything.

The owner makes us feel its our store shares the profits and pays well. Commissions are the icing not the cake.
