Ask a guy currently suspended/getting investigated by GNC anything

[Sikes2013]

Title^

[TrentAM]

Why?

[JusF13]

You're the guy testing all the PWO's by opening them in the store and putting a scoopful of powder down the front of your shorts?

GNC is too cheap to waste all those products... Now I'm left to suffer after I got a nuthair in my drink after it got stuck on the scoop you used.

[Sikes2013]

Good question, I never asked my manager why exactly me , but we did a audit not long ago and we had LOTS of things missing, way more then normal. He did an opening report on me today and I did fine, then he came in a few hours later and he was totally different. He asked if I stole anything and to come clean if I did etc etc, I told him nooooo, he then asked about why there was so many supplements in my car ( I guess someone told him to check out my car and see what was in it , and if anything looks suspicious . Of course me being a lifter and worker at gnc I have a chitload of free sups/ samples/ stuff that I bought etc) I just told him its just samples and other bs. Later on some head hancho Loss Prevention Manager from PA calls me and questions the fk out of me and asking about the stuff in my car ( boss sent him pics that he took of what he could manage to see from my car's window).

Later on that day after lots of confrontation with this head hancho , my boss told me I was getting suspended and that this head hancho is flying from PA to CA to investigate this.

Notsureifsrs, no I've never heard of that happening us employees get samples from vendors/shipments etc, I don't even take pre workouts LOL or any of those fancy test boosters/ anti estrogens / etc. I'm pretty knowledgeable about what works/ doesn't work, my co workers are MAJOR bros ( even though they don't look like they lift , no offense if there reading this lol) , and unfortunately if you want to make sales goals and be a top employee salesman you have to sprout out bro science , pimp the sht out of products you know don't work .

Sucks but it has to be done.

[hostessfactory]

Yeah this is really serious , JohnD ( we will use this for the head hanchos name) was going balls out on where I got the supps from , telling me he will track all my credit card info, and if I received from a friend he said they better have receipts . My boss knows im a top notch salesman ( number 1 in store and definitely a top tier in the region ) and I think hes trying to help me but at the same time im thinking why the fk would he send those pics, why not ask me about it then tell me whats going on and to be careful etc.

I should find out by Monday on what the situation is with this, at this point I pretty much think that I'm screwed , they don't have any proof or at least not that I can think of considering there's no visible cameras ( although we were warned that loss prevention sometimes installs small ass cameras in the middle of the night without anyone knowing ) , maybe I did something suspicious looking and they somehow got it with there spy cams and then that's why they asked the boss to check my car.

Off topic question

Im almost out of Whey protein the mocha cappuccino flavor (its the first one i've ever bought and its fuking delicious), I was wondering what other flavor is worth trying out?

keep hustlin cuz

[SKIN__N__BONES]

selling creatine again OP?

[Sikes2013]

Minimum wage + commission , if you want to be a top salesman though ( sell gnc products ) your not going to make jack chit for commission srs, people think we make commission on gnc products ... WRONG we make commission on 3rd party products ( c4 , jack3d, p6 , EPIQ brand etc) , GNC products are just a product considered a P3 which are part of the sales plan and we need to have a certain % of sales from the P3 , sure its possible to meet your quota for the P3 % then sell the 3rd party products but I just sell the P3 and have a really high percentage ( I've had up to like 150% LOL ) makes you/store look like a boss.

[nm797]

i dont think anyone's asked this yet. are you guilty?

[Sikes2013]

Come on bro the title says GNC lol :P

[ComradeDuck]

so you stole them right?

Hmm never tried that flavor , what brand ? Good tasting , I would probably go with Syntha 6 or the Ronnie Coleman line of protein ( I hear its really good , never tried personally though) gnc's don't sell a lot of variety products like the flavor you mentioned which I why I haven't tried it, usually its Strawberries, CnC, CHoc, Van. So I only get to try the basics, and after awhile they all taste about the same in a way if your going with something that's really low cal ( Amp Extreme Protein , and Epiq are both pretty legit and clean not a lot of fillers so they taste the same) , now something a bit higher in cals and fat like Syntha 6 or Muscle Milk is usually going to taste better because of the fillers.

Of course im going to say no bro, coming on a public forum and admitting guilt not even once. I really don't think they have ANY hard evidence against me besides the pics my boss took but all that can easily be explained, the only thing visible was a empty GNC fish oil box, a Nitro Tech protein Tub, and a chitload of samples in a box, all of which I already turned into my boss.

lol you sound guilty as ****.

[behler]

i'm the regional LP guy.

[Turbomunkey]

In before op is terminated despite no proof of theft. I got hired at gnc after the owner literally cleaned house due to theft

[Sikes2013]

selling creatine again OP?

Hehe only when someone asks for it , usually I don't go out of my way to sell creatine unless I can tell the person has money to spend and I just start adding things.

An example would be me using my sales tactics and getting someone to buy the vitapak, then I'll ask if he takes creatine or knows what it is , etc. I can REALLY REALLY pimp out products spewing broscience along with legit information. I myself was victim to GNC sales associates as a kid , so I know that feel . The real trick is telling people what they WANT to hear , as well as saying you have seen tons of people come in and buy it and have great results, or that I personally use it and I love it and its a staple ( I would guess my physique gives me a selling boost of about 70% no brag just straight up srs , would you take financial advice from a homeless guy ? ) .

I advise that you call lawyer Saul Goodman.

[Sikes2013]

Well I'm definitely not guilty , honestly , how are they going to find me guilty , I use to work for a franchised GNC and when I worked there I picked up quite a bit of free supps since you can pretty much use all the **** people return even though they opened and took 1 scoop or something was going to get discarded etc. I work for a corporate now so I told them that's where I got all the supps from and that they can ask the manager there and I spoke with him after work and he did agree he would vouch for me .

[Sikes2013]

Hah I love Sal , gotta be the number 1 lawyer

[bewaredetective]

Lmao, this.

You really think they're going to go on a bb.com forum, find this thread, and catch you? Admit it *******.
