As a long time veteran of the retail grocery business there are a couple of stories about how details are important.

Such as telling a new hire to go out and face the milk. (Which would entail pulling the product forward so that the customers can not only see it better but reach it better). But when you go out to check on the newbies progress you find him diligently standing there looking intensely at the product.

Another would be to load a bag of dry onions on a the newbies cart and tell him to rotate and fill the onions. When you go to check on the progress the newbie is diligently turning all of the onions round and round.

Yup! Details.

Thats just sad Roy. Id hope they would hire smarter young guys than that.

As I said they are 'stories' that were told to me about 40 years ago. These days the turnover is so high that they pretty much take anything--back in the day it was called 'needing a warm body'.

hehehe---my former wife and I had different ideas on how to make a peanut and jelly sandwich. She would spread the peanut butter on one side of the bread and then spread the jelly on the opposite side.

ME?? I mixed the two together in a cup and then spread the combo on one side of the bread.

The kids preferred my method and that didn't please the ex---
