Well, another manager has come and gone. Not only gone, but has left the company. That was Saturday. And three days later, we're still missing her.
I would say that when she came to our store, it was a little bit of a culture shock. The building is somewhat in need of repair and outdated, the coolers are most generally going down on a regular basis and as if that were not enough well, let's just say that the place didn't seem very appealing. Until she got in the door and met us.
Word for word, action to action - she fit right in.
But here is the clincher - she brought back memories of what we use to be. She added incentive and hard work to the store. Just like we use to do. And her outgoing personality and down to earth nature was exactly what our customers were accustomed to.
So in sending her off, we had to be different. A cake? Please, she's the Bakery Manager for goodness sakes.
I decided that we should get her a six pack of beer. So, Glenn and I hunted through the beer aisle and he picked out what he thought she would like. Me, I'm an Import girl myself.
I got a big bow and put it on top while the employees got out their Sharpies and pens and wrote their names and farewell messages on the beer carton. Then we put it on her desk.
Well, we were a success. And of course some employees shed some tears.
Although we will miss her, very much, we like her enough to want her to be happy. And, we think this move will make her happy.
So Gaby, from all of us,
'te deseamos lo mejor'
Talk at ya later!
