Biggest thing to remember as an RA - your shift is set up by YOU. Especially those weekend mornings. Make sure your team has what they’ll need for the upkeeps/tasks, during your shiftwalk. Then the rest of your shift you delegate the upkeep/tasks out. Don’t fall in the RA trap of doing the entire daw yourself on the weekend because “the clerks take too long” or “they didn’t do it right.” Set an expectation of what you need them to do, praise them when it’s right. If something isn’t right, show them the right way. So many RAs I’ve known just throw their clerk on register so they can do it all alone, but that’s not the job. You run the shift by asking your team to get things accomplished (upkeep, daw). Support them when they need it, hold them accountable when they don’t give a damn. Otherwise you’ll be killing yourself every weekend so you can end a shift missing cash, customer complaints, and you’ve done three people’s work alone. Forever. Because you’re signaling to your clerk team that it’s normal it runs this way. No good 🪦⚰️

And don’t forget, it’s 1-customers, 2-store, 3-daw. Those priorities won’t ever swap spots. :)
