À propos de cet audio

Being nice used to be natural. Now it’s a KPI.

In this episode of Operations Unfiltered, I break down how retailers are turning kindness into a business strategy this holiday season—from scripted smiles to Target’s “10-4 Rule.” With staffing shortages, inflation stress, and declining foot traffic, brands are operationalizing friendliness to drive engagement, loyalty, and sales.

Through my marketing operations lens, I explore:

  • Why niceness is being mandated in stores
  • How emotional experience is tied to dwell time and basket size
  • The downside of forced kindness as emotional labor
  • The big question: if niceness is required, is it still genuine?

This episode is part process design, part behavioral economics, and part real-life retail empathy. Because while companies may optimize kindness, the people doing the work are still human.

So as you shop this season, I’m leaving you with one takeaway: extend grace.
