I thought the system was automatic from the sales till?

So did I.

A different employee said some of the Seven-Eleven employees who padded orders felt guilty and began paying for some of the merchandise out of their own pockets, adding some who could not bear the pressure had left the company.

One franchise owner has filed a complaint with the Japan Fair Trade Commission after Seven-Eleven decided not to reprimand an employee who padded orders without permission, despite an internal company rule prohibiting pay raises or promotions for employees who engage in such conduct.

Oh, no! Corruption and padding in a Japanese corporation? How unusual, NOT!

Maybe it's just me, but I am not really understanding this article.

Store employees are making unauthorized orders to meet sales quotas? Why would they care about sales quotas? They are just part time hired help.

And what sales quotas? How do you push things people simply don't want to buy? I mean really, how many of us want cola mins or tunat bread with corn?

Here's a thought, for example. The onigiri shelf, stop stocking it with the garbage flavors no one eats and stock more on the stuff people like! then sales won't be hurting. Get rid of that brown slimy trash already! Bring on more sausages and kim chee fried rice!

Seven-Eleven employees are usually free to enter offices at stores and can easily operate computers without anyone watching, the employee said.

Firstly, how do the employees know credentials for accounts with purchasing rights?

Secondly . . . . .Multi-Factor Authentication!

I thought it was all factored in from the registers. Now I know why they walk around with iPad looking devices.

So, why do I have to push a button on the screen when I buy a beer?

These weren’t store employees, but rather employees from head office directly employed by 7-11 and not the owners of the individual franchised stores. The sales in question were between 7-11 corporation and the individual store owners.

Franchise store owners should an masse just drop their 7-11 brand name and form their own co-op. Only benefit really is the name. They don't get paid by corporate HQ, corporate HQ doesn't pay each store's employees, yet corporate HQ demands this and that. It's a capitalist leech - it does nothing, but leeches off workers, managers, and franchise owners by charging fees for use of its name.

@ Tom, you have to push the button to assert that you are old enough to buy alcohol
