The Fourth Area [DP Store]

[digitalpress]

I look at the management of the physical store (the non-holistic view, I'll get into that some other time perhaps) as the management of four distinct areas:1. The Sales Floor, my headquarters and livi...

Those comics are "cute" in comparison. My comics would look a little more like sketches from the Necromonicon. Or that other book that makes grown men pluck their own eyes out.

Picture a fire extinguisher, loaded with urine and bile, released into the room and then the door promptly closed.

Or maybe I'm just imagining the things I have to scrub off of the walls.

Fucking Lol!! That's funny shit.

Firstly, Joe, give the first employee who volunteers to clean the bathroom a 25 or 50c per hour raise. Then it's their job and you got a cheap maid.

Secondly, I used to clean bathrooms back in the day for various businesses and I found that the women's bathrooms were ALWAYS about 10 times nastier, messier, and filthier than then men's rooms. So, don't let women in there, BWA HA HA! Kidding. Sort of.

Well my father owned a sports card store, we never let customers use the bathroom. We also wised up and took the stools out so they wouldn't sit there for 4 hours reading a price guide. Maybe not the friendliest thing to do, but we had regulars who bought things and regulars who simply loitered.

The store I worked at a single pot bathroom that had a bathroom sign next to the doors and another on the door saying "Employee's Only".

Funny how a sign such as that never stopped people from walking right in to the bathroom/breakroom/extra game storage area*. The owners finally just covered up the bathroom sign and that solved the problem of customers ignoring the sign.




*games were stored up high near the ceiling...no splashing wee-wee on any games.
