I had two days off in a row. I am mostly pleased with what teh crews did to my stores while I was resting, but none of these people are "detail people."
I had the job of walking through four stores today and signing off on "teh transitions" that were performed. Instead, I am Mr. Monk, when it comes to how well the installations are done. I am brutal if there is any compromise in my concept of absolute perfection.
These guys do OK just followinging directions, but I have a very high standard, well above TeH Standards that I expect my stores to achieve.
My walk through was the start of many peoples' bad days, because once I present my list of correctable items, all managers seem to agree with me. My lists are like asking someone if they "really" want clean water to drink. Who the fuck would say, "NO!" to clean water to drink?
My job, in part, is to improve the "look and feel" of the stores. I can always find things to improve. I am loved and hated. There is no one who has no opinion of my performance at work.
