The last few days in Trace's NEW Village
Wow, what a store!!!! I knew it was going to be busy busy busy, but yikes!!
Store #20 is the only 24 hour store in Penetanguishene, so naturally it's going to be busy any time of day and night. But it doesn't help that the staff before us didn't take care of the store....no cleaning, no filling up of the coolers....ack, what a mess. And it's not even close to being solved.
So, today was the actual first day of me actually running the till and counter. I wanted to see for myself how busy the store is on weekends and where I need to double up staff. But before today I've been running myself ragged trying to keep up on ordering, tidying and rearranging products in the coolers as well as shelves in the store itself.
As for Mom and the house and everything else....the house is too quiet lately; everyone has been trying to catch up on their lives too, so things have slowed down for the moment yet we plan on resuming back on Monday to finish up. In the meantime, Dennis has been trying to clean up the basement a bit. But he has been really helpful and has been keeping care of Leela while I'm at work. He's there with Brady all day so one more dog doesn't bother him. Which reminds me, I need to speak to him about vet visits...yay, it's heartworm season, grooming time and Leela needs her vaccinations...*sigh*
