Another work post !

Really, I've never been a person that believes "numbers" tell you everything, sure they can give you a good overview but they can't give you the whole picture.

So, my store has gone from 24 hours to m-f 7a.m.-midnight, and sat and sun from 7-11.

I'll tell you why they did this ................. NUMBERS!

I guess these people never think, they simply use those little punch cards to enter data into that "room sized" computer and believe that what shoots out is the "Gospel"

Well let me tell you 2 weeks ago between 11p.m. and midnight I did about $700 in sales, where were the #s there?

What about pissing off the regulars that shop a little later? What about the early morning customers that want a few items for work? What about those people buying a ton of food for a big event that wait until the day because they don't have room at home?

Now I will say that I hated the thought of going 24 hours but in the last 10 years I've come to understand the love some customers have for late night shopping, what I recommend is an extra hour hear and there, but why would the # crunchers EVER talk to the people that work those shifts?? What a silly thought!

How about m-f 6a.m.-1a.m., and sat, sun 6a.m. to midnight??
