Who here has ever told a GNC employee that they are full of bs? To their face.

[ChrisCollins91]

Who here has ever gone in a GNC store and asked a GNC employee a question or heard them try to sell you on something, and knowing better, caught them in their bs and told them they do not know what they are talking about? That what they say is untrue? Then when they try to disagree with you, you show them the ingredient profile on the back and break it down as to why its bad.

If I ever see a GNC advertising PUMP fuel again, I feel really bad about the people who try to sell me it. Im going to purposely walk in that store and pretend I haven't ever heard of it before and see what they say to me.

It has been discussed numerous times that the employees aren't always the most knowledgeable, but if you know nothing about cars and go to an auto parts store how do you know the workers aren't doing the same thing?

[InItForFitness]

Why were you there to begin with?





In regards to your question..no, I haven't, and I won't bother too.

If you really want to make them pissed off, let them give you their sales pitch on all of their products/stacks and then simply put them back on the shelf and go pick out a product in the same category from another company and buy that.

They make no commision from selling other companies products.

My father owns a company. If he had employees that did this they would not work for him.

To be 100 % honest with you, I was on a business trip in Iowa and there were no Vitamin Shoppes around at all. I was lucky enough to find a GNC. The mall had a total of 15 stores. It was an indoor mall with a movie theater.

GNC employees do make some commission off of other products. They just have to meet a certain sales % for certain GNC brand products

Not true I worked there for a bit, you make WAY more money selling cellucor, bpi, MT ect, then the store brand. It's just regionals want you to meet numbers including units per sale and average dollars and store brand. If you really want to piss them off buy nothing but a bottle of water. Or anything BSN or ON since ON makes a majority of what's sold in the store they won't pay commissions.

What city were you in? After you answer that, it's time to stop posting and start reading.

Im not going to mention the town because I don't think its right to let people know what store it was.

Hmm, learn something new everyday.
Thanks for the clarification fellas

[Coatal]

Unless something has changed in the few months since I worked there or it's a regional thing, you guys are completely wrong about commission at GNC. Employees get more from third-party products and get next to nothing from GNC stuff. Most of their best selling items give employees 0-2 dollars, whereas third party items can give us up to 16 dollars for a sale.

[Manc33]

Sounds like PC World.

[ChrisCollins91]

Well guess What? Last night I went into GNC and had The Guy grab every GNC supplement. I told him I wanted all of them. Then after he rang me up I said " after second thought Im just gonna GO order this stuff online." I Did buy a quest bar though and a water.

[misfit28]

Why take it out on the employees? They just work there.

It's the corporate guys who set the ridiculous pricing and make decisions on what to carry and produce.

So you seem to be a old grown man, and you go at GNC to piss of 20 year old boy, who try to make a bit of, probably to pai for school! Congrat , you story does not impress anyone, who as the time to do that anyway, two thumb down for you!

*******s like this are why you should post on the misc and not anywhere else

[Gwyndane]

stop posting threads *******

[MillerTime07]

It's retail. You can't get mad at employees for trying to get a commission to supplement their probably barely minimum wage. If you don't like it, dobt shop there. It's similar to getting mad at a walmart employee because if product quality.
