The recent Tops supermarket shooting brings to mind memories of my one-time coworker Dan, who was, sadly, also shot and killed 27 years ago in the grocery store where he worked.
A produce manager’s predawn musings: What were the sales from the previous day? Did our load arrive overnight, just get there or, worse, hadn’t yet pulled into the dock? Any out-of-stocks?
Grocery management should be bottom up — doing everything possible to support those at store level, who are key in executing plans, generating sales and gross profits and so much more.
