First day on the job.
Today is my first official day of work at Kmart. I am still in training, but my supervisor, Ms. Weed, said at orientation that there is really nothing to it. Below is a short list of what I must do to excel at my job.
Note: This is what my employee hand book recommends I should do.
- Use the ten foot rule. Greet every customer within a ten foot radius.
- Look nice. Appearance is everything.
- Offer every customer the Kmart/Sears credit card.
- Be courteous to all customers and fellow associates.
- Keep shelves stocked.
As a new employee to the Kmart corporation, I was issued a uniform, a name tag, and a handy little pocket guide with helpful tips about my job in it. The pocket guide seems a little... over the top. Below is an excerpt from said pocket guide.
Road map to Greatness
Mission:
- Serve the customer well.
- Do better all the time.
- Make more money.
I really like that last one, make more money. However, at $6.00 an hour, I can't really make any sense of it. They must be referring to the store itself, because I am not going to be the one making more money.
