Overnights

This past week I had the privilege to work overnight from 9pm-7am with the overnight stocking crew.  I have to give it up to those folks.  Working overnights is just not natural.  I believe you body needs to sleep when it is dark outside & you work when it is light out.  But, I have a really good group of folks that work overnight all the time.

Talking to several of the associates I have one that goes home & sleeps for 2 hours then gets up so he can take care of his 2 little kids (a 4 year old & a 2 year old) while his wife is at school.  Then when she gets home he goes back to bed from 3pm-8pm.  WOW.  I have got to give it up to him.

Sometimes some of the daytime associates complain that "not enough was done on overnights"  but, they don't realize what a hard job these overnight associates have to do.  It's amazing how we can get blown out during the daytime & our night crew works it's magic & gets the club back up & running.  The day time associates have to deal with different situations themselves.  They have to multi-task all day long from resetting an aisle, running a register, spotting a forklift, test scanning aisles, answering phone call questions & most important taking care of our members during the daytime.

It's not rocket science, but you have to be a self starter & be able to have a strong sense of urgency to exceed in this job.

Great job to the team!

Until Later,
