So it was like 6 sweeps per day. That means 6 being logged in the clock. This is a struggle I work at a high volume store and when you log in to sweep and start sweeping you sometimes get called here for a clean up there for a clean up then you get side tracked and sometimes forget to log out of the store sweep. Sweeps have to be 45 minutes used to be 30. I know the whole logging in thing is in case someone falls and goes to court they have it printed out where we swept. But who came up with the has to be 45 minutes or has to be 8 per day? I know this does not sound like a big deal but it is. We had a hard time doing 6 per day now it is 8. Not that I am not doing it but getting side tracked and forgetting to log out of the sweep or someone else being clocked in for a sweep same time as me. Sometimes that happens I will be scheduled for a sweep and I will be sweeping and then a manager will tell a supervisor to get someone to sweep even when I am already sweeping I guess they do not realize. I asked my supervisor about how were we going to get 8 when he barely ever get 6. She said there are some stores getting 12 and 13. I asked her if she has seen that in writing. She said no and I said well unless you see it in writing don't believe it.
Then if it's 8 sweeps per day, I don't want to hear ANY calls for me to come up front to bag. NONE!!! I am scheduled to be a cleaner all this week and I NEED that time to do the sweeps properly. They will have to b*tch and complain up there. 8 sweeps is because some stores in our district are f*cking up, and rather than deal with them, the rest of us MUST take the blame as well.
When you take the wide broom go down each and every aisle pushing the broom.
...and get in the way of customers who are trying to shop. I agree with one poster who said just do a visual inspection of each aisle. If it's clean, move on.
at my store, we only sweep if they know we are going to have a store walk, or if the manager calls for it, but our housekeeping guys are pretty good at getting to them before the managers have to call for them.
