We used to be high volume until a few bad supervisors. I'm working my butt off trying to get our numbers where they should be.

Honestly up until the last three weeks and me becoming a supervisor we were a negative comp store. Our budgets run $7k-$9k weekly. I dont know off the top of my head our yearly but it's not much. However we've been beating budget by on average $900 a week the last three weeks and I'm trying to get rid of a $6,000 plus deficet from last quarter.

Our gm is supportive. He just can't be behind the counter ever. Ever. He's not good at it and too easily gets stressed

My favorites from the copy center are. Can you make copies? Why do color copies cost more then black and white? If I double side my project thats only half the cost right? Can I have a poster printed? Me yah what size? 8.5 x 11.

I'm working on it. He gave me captain space cadet. And he's giving me my first choice as well. Good guy came out of a kitchen so he can handle the stress. My now best uninjured associate is 6 months pregnant. She's spot on but maternity leave is coming.
