I arrive and you inform me that, although it has been a busy day, everything is done and taken care of. Given your confident rundown on daily operations, I take you at your word and bid you farewell for the day. After taking care of some initial duties, I begin my journey to the sales floor.
In the hallway, I immediately notice some type of dried spill that was just left. I guess it’s up to the next person to take care of it? However, as this is one of the most basic problems that could easily be taken care of with a few strokes of a mop, I am now beginning to wonder what else I may find with further inspection.
Both restrooms need attention. I highly doubt this happened right before you left for the day. Public restrooms present a certain health hazard naturally, but much more so if not checked on and cleaned regularly. If you saw it and chose to overlook it, then I have to question your own cleanliness and how you live.
Moving on to the stockroom, I see that the baler is more than full and should have been emptied. Again, this obviously didn’t happen right before you left. So, either you never walked into the stockroom, or you did and chose to overlook another problem. Either way, this is not acceptable.
Now, not to be totally negative, most of the end stands look pretty good. However, a few are missing products and leaving open spaces. If there is nothing there, there is nothing to buy. You have to think in terms of sales at every point, particularly with end stands and other promotional areas.
When you said everything is done, you also said you completed putting all truck freight away. However, as I turn to walk down the cosmetic aisle, I discover a gray cart with a full tote of cosmetics that has yet to be worked. Now with this, I realize you can easily get busy with other duties and things. But, it would have been nice if you would have mentioned there were items still waiting to be put away on the sales floor.
