Comments like this really tick me off -- it's called work ethic. You don't go to a job and automatically receive your paycheck. Too many young people nowadays expect things handed to them. You have to WORK for a paycheck. Gosh, the nerve of the managers...expecting you to sell things in a store. Your paycheck is your incentive. Get a reality check.

I think you kind of missed the point that what people were saying was about this particular company. I don't think anyone needs a reality check. For instance, working at Nordstrom you make a small commission on sales once you meet your quota for the pay period-incentive for you to meet the quota (good for the employer) and incentive for you to make more sales to increase your commission (also good for the employer and good for the salesperson). Coming from someone who worked for the Limited brand while in college, there are a lot of sales requirements and not much incentive for employees to reach them. It's not that anyone expects a paycheck for doing nothing, but happy employees are the best employees in my opinion. If I were to work retail again (or recommend a company to someone for employment) it would be one where there are mutually beneficial rewards for sales.
