I am so angry. We are having a contest with the other Caribou's to sell Amy's blend and raise money for breast cancers. We even have a chest of hope this year that donates them to a local hospital of the donater's choosing. Great. And for the first two weeks, we were number one in the district. Yay

Well, it would help some of us to know the location of the Caribou you work at/manage, so we could stop by and buy a pound of Amy's blend...

[cari_rose]

So added. Thanks for asking. =)

Thanks for the pointer. I stopped by this morning and bought a pound.

Overall, I think the best way to modify behavior is with praise. Instant, on the spot praise, so the person receiving the praise can associate it with the desired actions. If the praise is recorded, and feeds into future rewards, even better.

I'm guessing I dealt with relatively new employees, as they'd never had to handle payment by check before. At least one employee asked if he could help me (good), although he didn't ask until I'd just found the Amy's Blend.

I was somewhat rushed, so maybe I missed it, but there wasn't any (glaringly obvious) signage for the Amy's Blend. Having some signs might help, especially when a purchase helps out a charity. But again, I was rushed, and I may have missed a glaringly obvious sign...

I am sorry I wasn't there to see you. I have Fridays off, because otherwise I would never leave and wouldn't have time to do my homework. Your right, there is not nearly enough sinage up for Amy's any more. that changed last Tuesday when the cinnamon Late came out.

Positive re-enforcement seems to be the way I was dealing with it. I gave Cassie a WAY TO GO! card for asking everyone that day. And a coloring book skylarker dropped off for that perpose the next. Kara and Rod were getting the idea and we did a good job yesterday, but I don't think we will make it

On the bright side, I have decided my boss will not really fire me for not making that goal. It was a nearly impossible goal to begin with. Besides, if he fires me, the he has to do all the work. =)

Thank you VERY much for comming by and getting some. Again, sorry not to be there. I should have said about my hours before.

[cari_rose]

That is a great idea. =) ty.
I had thought of The buy a pound, get a free drink or something like that, but corporate isn't okaying it...of course.

That sucks. The Caribou in Hudson Wis. I went to a few weeks ago offered one to me if I would buy a pound!

Tom points out that they might not be a corporate store. We do have franchises. I should look into it again. I am running out of time though.

I don't have any good suggestions. I just wanted to mention that I knew Amy. She was really neat people. I am thrilled that they have kept up the tradition of Amy's Blend.

I will try to stop in on my way home this week. Are you skyway level?

Hey, how are things? Depending on my case load, I may wander over to your 'Bou at lunch again.
