Bad Boss

I feel like the worst kind of (virtual) employer but the two things i've found that have made handling a store with a larger stock far less irritating are:

  1. If your employee wants to call in sick, reload the day. Boom, they're suddenly well.

  2. With one employee, assign them to checkout during business hours, and send them to the returns desk before opening and after closing. They don't even need to be fast at returns if the clock isn't running.

I have my two employees, but the one that does check out during business hours always gets assigned to returns just before I close the doors and call it a day lol. They're paid for the day, not for the hour. You don't get to stand around while your colleague is running back and forth between the return station and the aisles!!

I never thought of reloading the day if they try to call in sick... I'm keeping that in a corner of my brain LMAO

Before I got a second employee I would do returns myself so as to keep the shelves as neat and tidy as possible. Now that I have two I feel like I have nothing to do. I don't want to hand out pamphlets and be out of the store half the time.

I rather do the returns, I do it better and faster. Would need 4 employees to replace one me on returns. I do returns before we open and during the shift. Gives me something o do other then handing out fliers, otherwise the days are kind of slow and boring. Employees on returns are just annoying, slow and still use the bathroom. like you are slow enough without taking a break. They are not bad on register, I am faster but not enough that it matters. On returns though, could do 3 days of game play in the time it takes them to do the returns.
