At the Fantastic General Store, sometimes positions don’t get filled as employees leave or retire. While this is better than laying people off, it does come with its own set of problems. First of all, any employee who was interested in moving into that closed position is now disappointed, which lowers morale, and may even…

At the Fantastic General Store, the price of some merchandise confuses customers. I can understand why. When two similar looking ball gowns have a significant price difference between them, most people would question if the prices are legit. There can be a couple of reasons why there is such a significant difference in cost. One…

At the Fantastic General Store, we have a lot of merchandise, some of which has similar packaging compared to other merchandise. When it’s all displayed together, sometimes customers struggle to find what they are looking for. When it comes down to it, there isn’t much difference in the packaging of Snow White’s apple sleep aids…

But despite the fanciful nature of the clothes, we…

At the Fantastic General Store, all job descriptions carry a small sentence that says employees have to perform other duties as assigned. At first, this may seem like a minor detail. You were hired to sell weapons, so you are probably going to mostly sell weapons. But at some stores, you are also expected to…

At the Fantastic General Store, we have a reoccurring task of taking products back to where they belong. If a customer decides they don’t want to buy something, sometimes they just leave it in whatever section they made that decision in, regardless of whether that particular item belongs there or not. A child’s toy somehow…
