the results of the redesign at work...

So, we all went in to work yesterday with no idea of what to expect I'm sure, and I must say they did a nice job, it really does look nice, although I think it'll take at least a day or so to decide if all the changes are practical or not. Some things I know I like, like having a rubbish bin right under the counter where we do milk is so wonderfully convenient. And our entrance behind the counter is no longer right where people are cueing for drinks, so that makes it a whole lot easier to move around too. But we're still trying to sort out where everything is and get used to the changes, which will get easier as we go along, but when we first opened yesterday it was such a hassle, especially since we opened before we were quite ready and were still missing basic things we take for granted, like pens, scissors to open milk pouches, numbers for sandwich orders, coins for the till. It got better as the day went on, but overall it was quite stressful. I suppose it can only get better from here though, even though it's going to get busier now with Christmas coming, and our hours are about to be extended for the holiday shopping season. It may be a rough couple of months ahead, but I guess all we can do is take it one day at a time and do our best. For better or worse, this new redesign is here to stay, so hopefully we'll grow to like it.
