Loader:  Jax

1) Discovered DS Charles quit.

2) Discovered the trash bags I'd put in the locker were missing; Bryan was dealing with the same Hispanic customer from last week, so went to Receiving to get more.  Aisle was blocked, so Ricky climbed through and got them for me.  Then Madi was upset b/c it put her behind closing LG.

3)  Had ZERO customers from 8:30-9:30.

4) Nan and Mel arrived at 9:45 (5th trip!) and while N was getting paint mixed, M got his lumber.  Then we waited on N until 10:10. Finally left at 10:15!

ASM:  Dan

HC:  Madi

Loaders:  Pro John, Justice

1) Woman complained about the lack of help in Lumber:  a) John was at lunch and b) Justice has only been on the floor 4 times.  He's still learning!  "This is pathetic.  Menards is wonderful."

"I'm sorry; we're going through growing pains at the moment, with people being shuffled around."

2) Man complained about not finding any roof jacks. I couldn't find them in the system; he insulted John by saying he was too lazy to go look.  Later, he found them on the site; called Roof BRACKETS, in Aisle 18, bay 13, but we were out.

3) Had to move to #2 around 5, due to being out of $5s and 10s.

4) Dan and Ricky took the hopper before I was ready; John took my trash and ran after them.  On the return trip, I told Dan to drop the hopper and bring in the concrete; he let Ricky do it while he went to the cash office.  "This is how you do things down here, Dan!"

5) Learned Trevor was fired due to NC/NS; Mark stepped down; Zach and Kathy are looking to quit once Shannon takes over Pro; Emily's thinking of not returning after maternity leave.  WTH is going on???
