This Is Where I Work Swap-bot

Greetings to all my Swap-bot partners and anyone else who may view this entry.
The purpose of this post is to show you "This is Where I Work"

I work in the retail field and I am the Unit & Pricing Lead. Fancy name for a person who does a bit of everything around there. My basic job function is to physically check daily inventory discrepancies that the computer says we have, make sure that all merchandise is scanning at the checkout registers properly and to ensure the ticketing and signing in the entire store is accurate so the customers know what the price is before they get to the checkout.

This past Holiday season I was also in charge of the Lay-A-Way Dept. In case some of you don't know what that is...Lay-A-Way is a place in the store where merchandise is rang up, a deposit of money is placed and then the items are stored while you make scheduled payments for a certain amount of time. After the term of the LAW is up (or sooner) and if the payments are made as scheduled then the merchandise can be picked up taken home with you.

I also help out with every department in the store. That can be anything from answering customer questions, finding the item customers are looking for and everything in between. I have over 15 years in the retail business and have been cross trained in every dept. with the exception of the stockroom/receiving area.

This almost sounds like a mini resume. LOL

So, onto the pictures.

These are the front of the building. One in the early AM and the other at around 7 PM


This is my station in our store office. As you can see, I have a lot of filing to do. They don't allow for any personalization anymore either. You can still see the stickies from where I had pictures of family on the wall.



These are other work stations the the office and the next one is the door to the office. This is the greeting card section.


These are of the Lay-A-Way Department.


This is a picture of the Customer Service desk just before the store opened for the day.






The last 3 are of the Pantry/Grocery Dept. and the Toy Dept. That's where I was working when I took my pictures. Being in retail my weekly hours vary from morning to afternoon to night shifts. The store does not open until 8 AM everyday but I could be scheduled to work anywhere from 4 AM until 9:30 PM (but not that long in the same day LOL) and the past few weeks I have work early morning shifts to get caught up after the holidays. That is also why you don't see any customers or other associates. The last few weeks there has been only 1 other person there that early with me besides a Store Manager to open the place up for us.

So, I hope you like my pictures. Please don't forget to rate.

Take care & Happy Swapping!
