One More to get rid of

Over the last week I've gotten rid of two people at work. 1 was the former store manager who kept trying to manipulate me for hours and the other is a girl who I've never liked and is a terrible worker anyways. Well there is one more person to get rid of; the store manager's wife. She drives 2 days a week but is constantly having the store work around her schedule for school. Which, if I liked her I would be willing to deal with. But since I've heard nothing but how she's talking behind my back and her and her husband are telling people that they are going to sabotage me, it's time to cut ties. I also heard yesterday how the former store manager is calling employees about me. These people are so clueless, that they think all these people are their friends and that they are upset about Mike being demoted. They are ecstatic! Every time one of them says something about me, it gets back to me. No more games, no more kid stuff. I'm letting her go tonite and giving her hours away. It's the last bad apple in the bunch and I'm sure everyone will be relieved when they're all finally gone.

I came up with what I would like to be my first marketing plan, the other day. Our store has an issue with visibility. There is no big sign out front like at most Domino's. So, I thought instead of a sign, why not get a big flag. IT would have our logo on it and provide great visibility for us. The 2nd part to it, is to have customers come in and sign the flag. Maybe even send it around to schools to have kids sign it. I think it's a great way to form a relationship with teh community and provide a little buzz about our store.

I can just imagine people driving down the street and remembering that their signature is on our flag. It would keep our store on their mind and hopefully bring in some more customers.

I think it's a great idea. I sent an email to my boss about it, hopefully she likes it. I'd like to kick it off in April.
