Mentor blog #4

On our fourth meeting I spent a bit more time at the market, before I made the list of what merchandise was needed my mentor explained that maintenance is very important. So we began our day by cleaning the fridge and making sure the all the products were organized. We sweep the floors and cleaned the windows making the store look nice and clean. I then made a list of the products that were needed, there was not a big increase on cigarettes like there usually is.I encountered a problem of writing it down on the list because I knew cigarettes at this market sell very quickly but didn't want to risk buying more and lose profit instead of gaining.Ghaidan said we were better off leaving the cigarettes off the list but it is always important to me good educated guesses.We then headed to the warehouse and bought all the supplies that was needed. Once we got back to the store I found it difficult to unload some boxes from the van. We organized everything on the shelves and stayed at the store for an hour or so just monitoring the employees. He explained that It is very important that your employees get the feel that your always around because you dont ever want them slacking off or doing something there not suppose to. At the end of the day Ghaidan counted the money from the register, reset it to its neutral amount again.
