The OK location I'm at is seriously mismanaged. One manager gets all of the credit, when he is the least hardworking of the three managers there. He's a lot of hot air, and the DM (who cares a lot about his stores, like he should) seems to buy it, because they're both somewhat chauvinistic (and the other managers are female). However, anytime his employees need help this one manager doesn't do much of anything. Sitting in your office talking to I-don't-know-who when we have a mad line and we're all out of ice and forks and everything else, doesn't fly.
Sometimes I feel like I (along with some of the other employees and managers) care way more about the store and customers than he does, and I'm only a part-time cashier.
The place could run so much more smoothly if we had the correct amount of people there during our rushes, instead of two or three people short.
I love the company as a whole, but it's difficult to be passionate about it when everyone feels unprepared and behind the whole shift. It's even tougher walking into the store and knowing that's exactly how your shift is going to start off, no matter what you do. It makes for a low morale and our customers definitely experience that.
