Great opportunities

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

My #gooddeed for the day happened while I was #shopping at #walmart. First, there was a #woman looking at #printers but she wasn’t sure which to #buy/#purchase. So I #helped explain some things that would #assist in making the right choice. With so few #employees around, I didn’t mind helping out. And she was very #appreciative! Another #customer, a very nice older #man was trying to explain to the #sales #clerk what he wanted. But he wasn’t explaining things well and the #salesassociate was very confused. After a bit and asking him some #probing and clarifying #questions, I understood what he wanted. So I helped the #salesperson know what it was and helped find it. #customerservice #beingnice #niceness #kindness #beingkind #retail #retailstores #stories #personalstory #personalstories #ronauerbach #ronauerbachmba Ron Auerbach, MBA

While the world sleeps, our team comes in with a "Good Morning!" As a 3rd shift overnight stock lead at Walmart, I'm proud to be part of the team that makes sure shelves are fully stocked and the store is zoned and faced by morning. Our work may go unnoticed by many, but we know the importance of our role in keeping the store running smoothly. We're the ones who ensure that products are accurately stocked, faced, and rotated, making it easy for customers to find what they need. It's not just about restocking shelves, though. We're also responsible for: - Maintaining a safe and organized work environment - Collaborating with coworkers to meet tight deadlines - Problem-solving and adapting to unexpected challenges - Finishing any leftover work from previous shifts Our team's dedication and hard work are what make the shopping experience seamless for our customers. So next time you walk into a well-stocked Walmart store, remember the unsung heroes who worked through the night to make it happen! #Walmart #OvernightStocking #Retail #TeamWork #UnsungHeroes -- Questions for your future huddles 1. What drives you to go the extra mile in your work, even when no one is watching? 2. How do you stay motivated during challenging times or when faced with repetitive tasks? 3. What does 'success' mean to you, and how do you embody it in your daily tasks--how does your team define success?

Meet Honey George, Store Supervisor in MMI The Greens Retail Store. Honey joined the MMI & Emirates Leisure Retail team in 2006 and has worked in several of our retail stores during her tenure, including MMI Ibn Battuta and MMI City Walk. Honey manages a team of seven, in a high footfall location, and having seen her in action it’s easy to see that Honey has a great rapport with her team and customers, and exceptional product knowledge! We simply had to get to know Honey better. What is your proudest accomplishment working for MMI & Emirates Leisure Retail? It's a tough question to start with! I have worked in great stores with so many amazing people, and I have accomplished a lot. Most recently, however, my team and I were awarded Store of the Year by our management team. Given the competition we face with our colleagues in other stores and the exceptionally high standards we strive for every day, this truly is a great accomplishment! What skills have you developed or strengthened since joining the company? I have received so much support and guidance throughout my career on delivering consistently high results and exceptional customer experiences - I am now well-equipped to impart my learning to others, manage a large team, and help them build their own career and development plans. What is one thing that you wish people knew about your job? There are many different components to my job. People management, customer experience, product knowledge, administration, and stock management to name a few! It takes discipline and focus to ensure every aspect is to the highest standards. In our customer-facing roles, we are brand ambassadors, and attention to detail is required in all areas to deliver an exceptional customer experience. Interacting and helping our customers is the final stage. What attracted you to join MMI & Emirates Leisure Retail? It was the career possibilities that MMI & Emirates Leisure Retail offers. MMI is renowned for its product offering and logistical capabilities, and Emirates Leisure Retail has an extensive F&B portfolio. I knew I could have more than a job - I could build a career. What motivates you in your job? The support I get from the management team. They listen to feedback and ideas. I also enjoy working with people, so every customer who comes through the door is a motivation to me. What's one thing people don't know about you that they would be surprised by? I am a fitness fanatic! Exercise is therapeutic and a great way to wind down and reflect at the end of a busy day. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? Switzerland. I have only seen it in photos and the movies – it has so much natural beauty, I would love to explore it first-hand. What’s your go-to karaoke song? Clean Bandit – Symphony. It’s so catchy and upbeat! If you could be any superhero, who would you be? Wonder Woman, with strength to fight for and defend people.

In the late 1990s I was a territory manager (AKA glorified sales representative) supplying the Warehouse, among others. TWH began to strut, sneering at K-Mart which at the time had hit a bit of a trough and even loudly providing a lowball offer to clear them from the board. Gone were the days when we would talk to Mr Tindall or one of his co-startup legends, when managers were indistinguishable from the other staff due to them working in inwards goods or even on the tills when pressure was on. We started to see young men in suits, parading their wee Management degrees and showing their distain for people like me. They stopped being a retailer of choice for me - and from these news items for many other NZers - as other, better alternatives appeared. For appliances, I shop JB Hi-Fi, since they hire techy experts. For clothing, I stopped red shed shopping when they only offered sizes to fit elves or orcs only, with nothing in between. For food, why pay 20% more for groceries at a scruffy Warehouse branch? For furniture, they’re not even in the mix. The Warehouse used to be where New Zealand went to get a bargain. Now, we’re going elsewhere. And that time of sneering at K-Mart?What was that about a dish best served cold? My humble opinion, anyway. #NZretail #thewarehouse #KMart
