Yep, after 2 months of Opie playing double-duty and hardly having any time off, we finally have a new store manager.
He started a week ago Monday and so far, he's not bad. He's on the young side and this is his first store as a manager (he'd previously been an Ass Man at another store and a Grocery Manager at yet another location) so he's learning the ropes.
And, as a plus, he seems pretty cool personality-wise. So far, so good.
One thing I've noticed about him thus far: he's pretty wound up at times in a rather enthusiastic way. You'll hear him periodically in the back room shouting "WHOOO!" It's quite comical, really. Makes me think he's trying to impersonate Rick Flair.
So I guess we'll call this one "Nature Boy" since "Cheetah Part 2" would be too long to say (and yes he's good buddies with Cheetah. I asked him on his first day if they were cousins.
)
And as a result, and after Nature Boy saw my backstock room (which was getting to the point where I needed a search warrant to find anything) I finally got some extra hours on Monday (got to work 8 hours . . whoo-hoo) on getting as much of the backstock worked to the sales floor and I shifted a bunch of stuff that went NOF that was discontinued long ago to the computer room so it'd be easier to get to when we start reducing it to get rid of it ASAP.
Which we'll need to . . . we go live with CAO in less than a month.
And everybody I've talked with so far seems to like him fine as well. I know our CSM has heard that Nature Boy has plans to help improve the store, so we'll see if they leave him here long enough to see those plans through.
And, he's also absent-minded. He left his store walk sheets on top of some of my totes while I was sorting through the rest of the HBC order and got sidetracked. I called him out of the meat cutting room to take them back.
He admitted he has a tendency to lay stuff down and forget about it. So now we know . . . he's like a little kid when it comes to losing stuff. I bet his wife has her hands full when he's home.
As long as he doesn't misplace his brain, he should be okay.
