on the topic of laziness... some of my retail management pet peeves

1) Dirty floors that obviously hasn't been attempted to be mopped in months
2) Dusty merchandise that hasn't been wiped for months
3) at the same time, the guy isn't doing anything but standing behind the counter reading newspapers, surfing the web, watching TV, standing at the door and people watching

I have little sympathy for them when business is slow. They are actively choosing to not make their shop more attractive.

thats one of mine to , coming from a construction background employers dont pay you to sit on your ass , so ok its a slow day why not scrub floors, walls or dust things, reorganize for crying out loud.

ever since i was 12 i learned theres never nothing to do, what makes a good worker or employee is someone who takes the intiative to do things regardless of the task.

i dont expect an 50 yr old man or woman to get on his hands and knees to clean floors but at that age or time maybe its time to pay a young fella to clean a few times a week.

imo general cleanup should be done evenings after the store is closed so customers only see a clean store and should be a main priority.

i know me personally am driven away by mess, how can i expect to buy livestock or goods and put my faith into someones advice when their displays are messy and store looks like it sat closed for 4 yrs...

seriously store owners , we want clean stores its that simple.

if i went to restaurant and they had food left on the floor or bathrooms with grease and rust running down them...ikt would be my last visit..if i even stayed at all....

I'm pretty sure you're referencing the place where I had to stop at a gas station to wash my hands on the way home after leaving the place. I had handled a few items on the shelves, and my hands were filthy when I left! I did ask if they had a sink I could use to wash my hands before I left. "No. Sorry we don't." I haven't been back.
