A thrift retailer whose filing states one total and its store count, and nothing by kind of work, so the whole workforce takes the used merchandise retail pattern.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What the filing says about AI
7 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing names AI 7 times, as a technology risk and as a tool criminals use in phishing and social engineering.
- “There are also inherent risks associated with the investment in and use of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, and such operational and supporting technologies can be subject to failure, disruption, or unavailability and increased vulnerability to cyberattacks and other cyber incidents.”
- “Conditions in our market could also change rapidly and significantly as a result of technological advancements (including artificial intelligence and machine learning), partnering by our competitors or continuing market consolidation or strategic changes we or our competitors make in response to macro-economic or other events, and it is uncertain how our market will evolve.”
- “The rise of generative artificial intelligence is allowing criminals to engage in more convincing and scalable social engineering and phishing campaigns by automating personalized messages, mimicking voices and writing styles, and rapidly iterating content to evade detection by email filters and other security tools.”
- “Moreover, any integration of artificial intelligence in our or our third-party providers' operations, products or services is expected to pose new or unknown cybersecurity risks and challenges.”
- “Our use of artificial intelligence tools and changes to related laws or regulations could adversely affect our business.”
