Moving On Up...

Deja Vu:

I am the holding manager of the other in-town location for the foreseeable future.

Pros:

• I am making a decent wage again.
• I am the manager. No more young, know-it-all first-time manager running my show, trying to 'improve' my retail skills, or schedule the store around his life (and not the needs of the business).
• A staff that is not so negative all the time.
• An hour earlier closing time.

Cons:

• Both veteran cashiers are on their final warnings.
• The usually super-cool ASM is ridiculously resistant to change.
• The store is a dump.
• Trying to keep up on the fly (granted, today will only be my third day in the store, but still...).

At any rate, it will definitely do for now, and I intend to kill it on sales, cleanliness, and customer service. I will make a very strong mark on this store.
