This Blog is dedicated to the employees that I work with, but this is one time that I am going to bend the rules and write about a manager. At our store, 99.9% of the managers are great. They are hard workers and that means that we all have something in common - making our store a better place. It is their attitudes and work ethic that help bring us together and make us a united workforce. But, as usual, there is always one that stands out and doesn't blend in with the rest of us.
This manager seems to be self-centered, works strictly to make themselves look good (instead of the store) and at times has seemed completely oblivious to the benefit of their staff. Too many times this manager has failed to do their duties when filling in as a Manager On Duty and complained, or disappeared, when help was needed. But the other night, I saw a different side.
Up on Front Lines, we got slammed and there were not enough people working in order to get the lines down. Amidst the chaos, this manager appeared. With coat on, and walking out the door, this manager turned around and seeing the mass of customers in line, jumped in and started to bag for the cashiers. This was not only helpful but also very surprising. So even though we already have an opinion about this manager, it is nice to know that possibly this could change. HIGH FIVE!
Talk at ya later

it's always nice to see a mgr actually do their job, but seems like some are in the wrong places and just there for the money which is very common and understandable esp these days. it's a start..
