Anyone else feeling the pressure on sales targets lately?

Seriously, it feels like every week the expectations get a little higher, and the tools we have to meet them aren't really changing. We're pushing credit cards, protection plans, and trying to upsell on everything, but customers seem more budget-conscious than ever. I'm not sure how much longer we can keep hitting these numbers, especially with the holidays coming up and everyone tightening their belts. It makes for a really stressful environment on the floor, trying to balance customer service with these aggressive sales goals. Anyone else feeling this crunch and how are you managing it?

Totally feel you on this. It's like a hamster wheel, always running faster but not getting anywhere new. The pressure to push add-ons when people are clearly just trying to grab a few essentials is rough. I've had more customers walk out because they felt cornered. Hope things ease up after the holidays, but I'm not holding my breath.
