You were told to sell what's on the floor and push customers into stores brands and special makeups.

Dick's has entered into licensing agreements with some manufacturers. They have special makeups which are advertised as "Exclusively at Dick's". The truth is that some of those products aren't even made by the company whose name is on them. Dick's pays the companies a fee to allow them to use their name on products that they have manufactured. They also have companies making up products exclusively for Dick's that are made to lesser specifications than the company's standard products. They make huge margin on those products and associates are paid bonuses to talk customers into those products.

Avoid that store at all costs.
