So, the other day I am having a conversation with someone who works for the company and goes from store to store.
"Have you ever been to the other ______ stores?" they ask.
"No." I said.
Well, they go on to tell me how nice the stores are, in fact the word, 'pristine' was used; shiny, waxed floors - and the list went on. Of course, as I take a quick look around me, I can say that that particular adjective does not apply to our store.
Considering the appearance of the other stores, it is no wonder employees go into culture shock when they get transferred here
"But this store is unique." they said. And, that it is.
From the time I entered this building, there was a phrase that was repeated annually, 'The store is going to get remodeled.' Ten years later - the phrase continues to be repeated.
While other stores have been remodeled, some up to four times, we just get a 'reset.'; something else customers don't like.
We don't see the store being remodeled in the future, nor do we see shinny waxed floors, new computers or anything else that would improve the store's appearance and function.
But even though the store shows it's age, and the front doors stick from time to time, it is what's inside the store that sets us apart from the other stores.
The people that work it.
And that adjective, Unique? It's a perfect description of who we are.
Talk at ya later!
