Don’t try or even bother. Lowes wants you to do more in less time with less help and fewer tools. Then the next quarter, because you actually almost got it done, they will ask you to do more than before while cutting back on the help and tools you need. Every quarter. Every year. Every time. We are asked to do more with less.
It used to be if the work became too much for a part timer the position became full time. Now I can tell you the plan is to just add another part timer. Only when the customers are in the store, of course. We are never able to get preparations for customers done because of this. And why should we want to; for another part timer to get hired to then compete for the fewer hours made available?!
Everyone listen up. Just do the minimum you need to to not get fired. Seek out every customer you see and put off all other tasks. Talk about anything they want. Try for fifteen minutes per customer. If asked why something isn’t done just say you were doing customer service.
See what happens. It’s gonna be great!
