Any one here shop at GNC?

[jennifer BFL chick]

That place is such a joke. Their prices are tremendous.

There are times when I have to go there, because its convenient, and the sales people are all over me---its really annoying.

I find that I have to be straight out cold to them, then they leave me alone.

Its just crazy that people shop there all the time. Maybe they have no idea how jacked their prices are---hum

I work there, and the way we are supposed to sell stuff is ridiculous. I say "Hows it going, need any help?" and nothing else unless asked. Id prefer to look at the magazines then hover over someone shopping. Only reason I shop there is because of my 30% off

Nope, get my supps for free! But they are sort of reasonable on Super Tuesday. The people that work there crack me up. From my experience they don't know shit about weight training, fitness, nutrition, or supps. They take advantage of so many young, and old customers that don't know any better! But then again those people are sheep so I guess I can't blame GNC.

Austin316 I stand corrected you may be the first one!

At both GNCs I've went to, the owners give me Super Tuesday everyday. I don't think most owner's care since they can either get your money now or get it on Tuesday.

Well I work there too and I'm actually kind of proud of my sales technique.

It's simple:

I'm fucking honest. People come in to buy andro, I have them buy creatine. I tell them that I feel that Xenadrine is our best fat burner along with possibly Beta-Lean.

I do push the Bogo (by one get one 1/2 off) discounts, though I dont get a fucking bonus for anything like you would at a corporate GNC.

I never hover over people, but that's what we're expected to do. A friend of mine works at a corporate store and he says he has to be super pushy.

I also have made some friends who I've spent upwards of 30 minutes giving them weight training and nutrition advice.

I also have the highest sales out of any employee at the franchise.

the prices arent outrageous down here in toronto at all. i got some gnc gold card thing and i get 15% off. i get all my protein at gnc and all my supps at a different place cus gnc down here isnt allowed to sell US Ripped Fuel and other good shit.

 

[Austin316]

I tell it to people strate, I won't let them buy creatine unless they are on protein. I tell em something is crap if it is, I do push the bogo because its a good deal, gold card is also good to sell if its beneficail. BTW, if someone doesn't ask me questions, Ill let them go ahead and by what they want (the people that say "Im fine" at everything)

I spent way too much money at GNC before I found other sources. I'll take the Vitamin Shoppe any day!
