Making it Easier to Shop

My observations this week were made in several department, grocery, and drug stores. The thing I noticed most was how different stores took time to make it more convenient to shop. Handy reminders and informative signs made it an enjoyable experience. Little things make a big difference! Here are just a few examples of how the stores are paying attention to our needs as customers!

Reminders…How many times do

you forget the reusable bags you carry in your

car? This is a convenient reminder

BEFORE you enter the store.

Information…

Why is that cashier so slow?? It helps me to

know that they are just learning a new job and

to cut them a little slack.

Convenience…

Often I shop with a list or a store ad. What to

do with it when you are done? This store made it easy with a trash can

below the checkout line. Much nicer for the

next person than leaving it in the cart!
