there’s nothing wrong with just pulling him aside and telling him to sandbag for a bit. Let him get some sort of flow and he can be all “yeah I guess it was beginner’s luck on the first day, but then a lot of my strategies started backfiring and now I’m stuck”
Again, the only people that care intimately about this are Stuart and Brice, that leaves about 30-40 other people in the store that fucking HATE it, and for an hourly worker you don’t want to be the odd one out. Brice doesn’t care (and neither did Josh, but it bit him eventually) about the opinions because he knows he can just go to a different store if the going gets tough, he knows he has value to Grumbel’s.
Even better idea is to come to an agreement. He’s an ace at credit card and reward card sales, they likely are better with other things. So tag team, while they handle the product knowledge he works the cards.
They don’t get commish on the sales I bet so working together to elevate the over all stores sales. And that makes Marla looks good, which makes upper management happy.

Harris only has one bit of value right now
