Retail Record: January 2006
http://retailrecord.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Products and prices of a big-box category killer service and knowledge of a small-town specialty store = my store. This is its record. Tuesday, January 31, 2006. The same manager and I went in a different direction than last time. After the shop talk we went out for dinner before returning to our respective cities. It was a fun day, and I learned quite a bit from the two long-term store managers. Actually, I learned a few things from just walking around the bad manager's store, too. The first time that I...

Retail Record: Goodbye Party
http://retailrecord.blogspot.com/2006/11/goodbye-party.html
Products and prices of a big-box category killer service and knowledge of a small-town specialty store = my store. This is its record. Friday, November 24, 2006. About half the employees showed up to my goodbye party.the ones who liked me and I liked them. The person hosting the party may have even *forgotten* to invite a couple of employees who should have been fired weeks ago (if Boss had any kind of backbone). Everyone behaved inside the store, too. WOW! We had fun while still being grown-up! No water...

Retail Record: More Customers
http://retailrecord.blogspot.com/2006/11/more-customers.html
Products and prices of a big-box category killer service and knowledge of a small-town specialty store = my store. This is its record. Sunday, November 19, 2006. My last few days on the job were pretty smooth. However, as always, there were some customer issues. I'm a manager. "Well, then you should be able to refund my money NOW." Not without a receipt. "Who keeps receipts? That's ridiculous. I want to call someone RIGHT NOW! Your employee THREW SOMETHING AT ME! What's the employee's name? I'm a manager...

Retail Record: June 2006
http://retailrecord.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Products and prices of a big-box category killer service and knowledge of a small-town specialty store = my store. This is its record. Thursday, June 29, 2006. Some of my regular customers are really cool. We joke, give advice, recommend new restaurants, discuss local problems and possible solutions, etc. It's all as time permits, too. If it's really busy, my regulars understand and do their best to stay out of my hair. You want a waiting area, too? The people who need extra assistance because of their w...

Retail Record: February 2006

Products and prices of a big-box category killer service and knowledge of a small-town specialty store = my store. This is its record. Tuesday, February 28, 2006. He pouted all day and only spoke to the other manager or me when absolutely necessary. When it was time for his break, he clocked out just like he does every day at break time and left just like he does every day at break time. Hourly employees get a half-hour break. Half an hour later, he wasn't back. Long line? Monday, February 27, 2006.

Products and prices of a big-box category killer service and knowledge of a small-town specialty store = my store. This is its record. Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Today I was getting ready for work and had a little extra time so I switched on the computer to check out the blog updates for the day. I was late for work, for what I found on one blog took several readings. At work I went about the normal routines while trying to process the information. A customer complaint about being out of stock.who ...A wom...

Products and prices of a big-box category killer service and knowledge of a small-town specialty store = my store. This is its record. Sunday, December 17, 2006. The End.at least for now.

Some of the situations I've already encountered are really private and no one's business, yet I have to know in order to perform the services for our clients.
