totally agree with this.
And, if it’s slow, and they gripe about doing other things…they don’t need to be on the clock.
Time to lean, time to clean.
How’s that walk-in looking? I’d bet the door needs to be scrubbed, floor swept, stock straightened on the shelves.
Is your mixer spic and span clean? How about the floor under the mixer? (YUCK)
If you want them on the clock just in case, make sure they have a cel phone and send 'em out with flyers. Either door to door or to businesses–retail or office or whatever-and to hospitals, nursing homes, doctor’s offices, etc etc etc
they want more $$ then they can put in a little effort to help make it.
