The use of Mystery shoppers and survey companies can allow a business not juts a retailer to have an unbiased view of their customer facing operation, how it actually works and what plus and negative points are occurring. In addition it can allow "management" to have s snap shot of areas that whose operation can feed a business and Quality development plan as well as HR areas

As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there are approximately 5,000 petrol stations with forecourts in South Africa. This number can fluctuate due to new openings or closures. The country's fuel retail sector is diverse, comprising various brands and independent operators. For the most accurate and current figures, consulting industry reports or the Department of Energy in South Africa would be advisable.

No they shouldnt be aloud to hang at the store they are minor some of them is and the parents should be ashame of them self and some or mostly adult to and need to be out working try to get a job instead of hanging at any store ok.

I believe they are not a good employer at all. The company does not seem to care about their staff and their rewards program is very poor indeed. No reward just a piece of card stating how well you have done. If you exceed in delivering the companies expectations then reward your staff with more then a piece of card. You have to remember they are growing your business.

Training is awful. You are sat in front of a computer and you go through your Bronze E-Learning, which you are then supposed to re-inforce on the shop floor.

Some managers are only interested in getting you through your e-learning then they can go and sit at the back of the store having countless cigarettes and hot drinks completing tasks on the back office. I dont see how the tasks take them so long. Completing those tasks should take no more then 2 hours. Then they should be on the shop floor supporting their colleagues and building a relationship with their customers.

Security is very weak. Two people on a shift, a shift manager and general assistant. When both members are working on the shop floor they would not be able to hear the front door opening, especially if they were down by the chillers. Anyone could hop over counter and fill a basket with tobacco. Older stores require reworking to make them more efficient to both customers and staff.

Up until recently their was a button behind glass which once smashed would release the stock room door. Their is no way you could hear this if you were both busy working on the tills.

I have heard of one instance where an Area Manager asked why the shift manager did not hear the store room door being opened by raiders and why she had not investigated. Lets look at why this is so wrong, the Shift Manager walks out the back confronts the raiders who could then injury her. Would it not be a good idea that if you feel you have intruders push the button on the staff safe wrist band and mention to the controller you may have an intruder.

The shift manager is paid £7.21 an hour and the general assistant £6.47, hardly great wages for tackling criminals.

Pay: Depressing, All shifts paid at basic rate unless you have hit overtime level.

No extra pay for working Saturday or Sundays, so when you require shifts covered whats the incentive One Stop.

Convenience stores will not always have the products you need. Also, they don't sell fresh products because they need things to have a certain amount of shelf life as opposed to a supermarket.

The most profitable 7-Eleven store in the U.S. is typically located in the vicinity of the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles. This store benefits from high foot traffic, particularly from students and local residents, contributing to its impressive sales figures. Specific financial details can vary over time, but this location has consistently been noted for its strong performance.

In KS, this would fall under the child endangerment law. There isn't another specific law yet about when, how long, how old, etc you can or can't leave a child in the car. But under child endangerment, the officer can arrest the caregiver and take the children into custody.

I think it's a lot because people use the toilets and should wash their hands.

This may be true for where you are observing the locations of the stores. 7-Eleven stores are convenience stores, meaning they try to be convenient place to shop. The location should be convenient to the maximum amount of traffic. So if this is an east-west running road, then there probably is more traffic traveling west in the afternoon, so you only have to make a right turn to get in the store, and a right turn to exit.

Think about what is profitable for the convenience stores: beer, cigarettes, and the $5 gallon of milk. Things somebody might pick up on the way home, not on the way to work.

Cigarettes

money

lottery tickets

video camera

12 dollars and the straw is extra

It is obviously some sort of big secret. Even their corporate website does not have this info!

Pony breaks the end of a glass pop bottle he was drinking and threatens them with the sharp end.

7-Eleven restocking schedules can vary by location, but many stores typically restock their shelves in the early morning hours or late at night when foot traffic is lower. Some stores may also receive deliveries throughout the day as needed. It's best to check with your local 7-Eleven for specific restocking times, as they can differ based on demand and inventory.

The monthly operating costs of a convenience store can vary widely based on location, size, and inventory. On average, these costs may range from $10,000 to $50,000, encompassing expenses such as rent or mortgage, utilities, payroll, inventory replenishment, insurance, and marketing. Additionally, costs related to permits and licenses may also be included. It's essential for store owners to carefully analyze their specific expenses to determine their unique operating costs.

no , the only Dairy Mart you will see is a franchised location that is a part of the Alimentaion Couch-Ard

convenience store.

Fresh coffee, old hot dogs, sweaty money, broken bottles of beer, diesel fumes, grape-flavored gum, discharged freon, spilled milk, and the "impostor colognes" wafting behind the bourgeois clientèle.

yea they will its like 2 bucks

It may be a local city or county law - I can find no mention of a state-wide law requiring it.
