#hiring Greenlake Quick Check PT-$18-$19, Seattle, United States, $19/hr, fulltime #jobs #jobseekers #careers $19/hr #Seattlejobs #Washingtonjobs #HealthcareMedical Apply: https://lnkd.in/guafe_wi Job Description The Quick Check position serves two primary functions: To greet customers as they enter the store and to provide a fast checkout option for those who only need in-store items. The Quick Check station solely processes small orders, allowing the rest of the Sales Staff to engage customers who need large quotes written or want to discuss the details of their project. This division of labor ensures that we can provide the three tenants of the Dunn Lumber Promise consistently -A Steady Rate of Service, Knowledgeable Advice, and Quality Materials. First impressions are so important! Our Quick Check Cashiers are always ready to welcome customers with a smile. Being a greeter means being aware of customers entering the store, extending a welcome even when assisting a different customer through the checkout process. Depending on the staffing of the Quick Check Station, walking the front the store to help answer questions and direct customers may be included in your Greeter Duties.

It's time for January's Employee Spotlight! Meet Kyle! Kyle is a Warehouse Associate here at True View, and has been with the company since September of 2022! His day-to-day consists of quality control on incoming product, picking up materials from local suppliers, and providing support for warehouse managers as needed. Kyle says that in order to do his job well, you need to have attention to detail, stay organized with paperwork + the incoming material, and have strong communications skills. When we asked what Kyle's favorite thing about working at True View, he said his co-workers! When we asked Kyle what is something people might not expect from his job, he said he thinks people tend to underestimate just how much the warehouse team has to manage and deal with mass quantities of paperwork. (We agree, it's no easy task!) When Kyle's not at work, he's spending time with his kids, watching football, and playing poker. Thank you so much, Kyle, for all you do for True View and all your hard work! #EmployeeSpotlight #WindowRepair #GlassRepair #CustomGlass #CustomMirror #PhoenixWindows #Denver #Tucson #ArizonaWindowRepair #TucsonWindowRepair #PhoenixWindowRepair #PhoenixWindows #TucsonWindows #FullHomeWindowReplacement

I am the first person the walk in the door of my local doughnut shop, the Baker’s Dozen, in Plainfield, CT, at 0500, every Monday, and sometimes Wednesday and Friday. Without fail, they are immediately bombarded by non-stop cars in the drive-thru. Even though the donut girls are used to this, it isn’t natural to have to process information constantly. Another example is Target, where I used to work. The particular location where I was a Team Member has more Team Members than others, but at my local Target, you almost can’t find a Team Member if you need assistance because they’re all rushing around filling orders for in-store pick-up. Immediate gratification is a horrible thing. It causes undue stress to workers. There is a difference between working as quickly as possible while maintaining accuracy and the brutality involved in the “same day” culture. My antipathy to the worst aspects of consumerism and its negative effects on workers is so deep that I do not have an Amazon account and I order any book I might want through my local bookstore No Other Book Like This in Mystic, CT. It takes longer and I spend more, but I’m benefiting a woman-owned small business in my hometown. My company makes box trucks. Our products keep commerce moving- literally. A corporation’s need to meet deadlines to other corporate customers is inherently more urgent than whether it takes you 5 minutes to walk in the doughnut shop, exchange some pleasantries with the girls behind the counter and then walk out with your order versus driving through, which doesn’t really take much less time, given the line of cars. All it does is further pollute the air and keep the donut girls tethered to a headset their entire shift, with little respite. Next time you order on Amazon Prime or do an in-store pick-up from Target, take some time to think about the Amazon Associates and Target Team Members frantically scrurrying to assemble your order and that they are doing this their entire shift, at the same unrelenting pace. #retail #workculture #socialjustice

Dear all Targets, Kohls, Walmarts, ALDIs, Home Depot’s, Krogers, Jewels & all other stores that have self checkout…. You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkouts now. The lady/man checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone. I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already: 🛒filled my cart 🛒emptied my cart 🛒scanned the items 🛒refilled my cart and so I just skipped the exit line and left. I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me“ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store. You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be. • I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you. • If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine. • Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities. YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING. YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNTS FOR WORKING FOR YOU. Signed ......All of us These are jobs that are needed to have for young and old ….. Copied and pasted, because I agree 100%. SPREAD IT AROUND #SelfCheckout

You shouldn’t have to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes to understand their job and role as a leader. I’ve never held a software engineering role, but I worked very hard to understand their needs and their job. Some technical skill is needed, but not always at the code level. (Note: I am talking as a leader, not as their direct manager – for that role, I do believe you should have some experience.) When I worked in a warehouse, we had conflicts with the people on the sales floor. Our manager had a great idea – we would shadow them on the sales floor for a day, and they’d help in the warehouse. What could go wrong? I admit I learned a lot from the sales team. However, as a salesperson was unloading two washing machines from a truck, he almost had one fall on his head – I was able to deflect it just before it hit (the washer was destroyed, the sales person was fine). You don’t need to DO the job to understand the job.

At the tender age of 14, I landed my first job as a stocker at Winn Dixie. Each afternoon, after school, I would change gears from textbooks to tea bags, learning the rhythms of retail one shelf at a time. My job was simple but pivotal: ensure the shelves were meticulously organized and products aligned with military precision. Yet, no sooner had I lined up the cans and boxes than shoppers would disrupt the order, reaching for what they needed or wanted. Initially, seeing my efforts undone in real-time frustrated me. But this early job taught me invaluable lessons about life and work: 1. Impermanence is Inevitable: No matter how perfectly you arrange things, external factors will always introduce change. Embracing this reality teaches flexibility and resilience. 2. Service is at the Heart of All Work: The ultimate goal of my stocking wasn't just aesthetic. It was about making life easier and more convenient for those who entered the store. This early lesson in service-oriented work has stayed with me, reminding me that the true value of our work often lies in how it serves others. 3. Every Role Has Value: Every job adds value, no matter how small it seems. Keeping shelves stocked might have seemed mundane, but it was essential for the store's daily operations and customer satisfaction. These early experiences at Winn Dixie laid the foundation for my career. They taught me the importance of adaptability, service, and respect for all roles within a business. As I've progressed in my career, these lessons have only deepened in value, reminding me that every task, every role, and every person in an organization is a vital part of the whole. To anyone starting out or feeling like their contributions are not noticed: remember, the lessons you learn in these early roles are building blocks for your future. Keep stocking, keep learning, and keep growing.

How do you use your slow times in sales? Are you filling the shelves? One of my first jobs was working in a toy store where we sold pet rocks… (Ridiculous product. They sold terribly…) The store had a large basement we used as a stock room. Sales would be slow, but we’d keep getting boxes delivered. I’d unload them and fill the shelves in the basement. By the end of summer, every nook and cranny was PACKED. Leading up to Christmas, the shelves would empty as we moved stock to the sales floor and the basement would start to echo. It taught me a valuable sales lesson: Use down time to fill your shelves. Use your busy time to stock the floor. In sales, it’s easy to fixate on the NOW. But if you spend your slow times investing in what you need for the future… …you’ll be ready for the busy season. >>>What’s a lesson you learned from your first job you still use today? ===== I’m @Michael Hinkle and I love sharing everything I’ve learned about sales.

Wisdom from Sam Walton on Customer Service Years ago, Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retail chain, launched a training session for his employees packed with invaluable insights. While attendees expected a standard lecture on sales techniques and customer service, Walton began unexpectedly: “I’m that customer who sits quietly at a restaurant, waiting while the server attends to everything but my order. I’m the one who stands by in a store as the clerks wrap up their personal conversations. At the gas station, I wait without honking, letting the attendant finish his newspaper. When I urgently need an item, I patiently wait weeks without complaint. And when I enter a store, it often feels like I’m seeking a favor, a smile, or just a bit of acknowledgment.” You might think I’m the type who is patient, uncomplaining, and not a bother. Think again. Do you know who I am? I am the customer who never comes back. I find it fascinating to see companies spend millions on advertising to win me back, when all they really needed to do was show a little courtesy during my initial visit. Remember, there’s only one boss: THE CUSTOMER. He can fire everyone in the company, from the president to the janitor, simply by spending his money elsewhere. If you want your business to succeed, strive to provide unparalleled customer service. #CustomerService #SamWalton #BusinessWisdom #RetailTips #CustomerExperience #Leadership #Management #BusinessSuccess #CustomerIsKing #RetailInsights

Pepperfry 📣 **Disappointing Experience with #Pepperfry** 📣 I regret to say that my recent experience with #Pepperfry has been nothing short of frustrating due to abysmal customer service. Despite placing an #order with high hopes, the promised #deliverydate of #May8th has come and gone #without a trace of my purchase. What's worse, attempts to seek clarification from their customer service team have fallen on deaf ears. No updates, no explanations, just silence. This level of disregard for customers is unacceptable. It's disheartening to see a company neglect its responsibilities and fail to provide even basic communication regarding order status. As a consumer, I expect transparency and accountability from the brands I choose to support. Pepperfry has sorely disappointed in this regard. Consider this #feedback a #cautionarytale for anyone #considering #shopping with #Pepperfry. Until they improve their customer service standards. #PepperfryFail #PoorCustomerService #Pepperfry #CustomerService #OrderDelay Ashish Shah Shilpi Jaiswal
