A Surprise Visit?

My store kinda went into 'panic' mode today.

As we got word that our regional manager was in town and doing surprises visits to the stores in our state. 

And that they had just left our sister store in the same valley as us.

So the managers were like "GO GO GO GO!!" 
As in "Face the department."
"Make sure everything is up to standards."
"Make sure all the cages are properly set up"
And "Make sure that you know the new directive that they've released and what each letter of the acronym stands for because you WILL BE QUIZZED." 

And like....we did all this fast preparation.
Making sure the store looked nice.

And Four Hours Later.
Our RM still hadn't shown up.

Which considering that our store is only like...maybe 20 minutes at most away from the sister store the RM had just left....
Made it more apparent that it was unlikely that our store would be visited today.
Though perhaps they showed up after I left....who knows....

Still I wouldn't be surprised if the RM forwent visiting us this time around mostly on the grounds that our Head Manager is currently out of town.
And it's kinda expected that if the RM visits that the Head Manager is present for feedback and such. 

But I also wouldn't be surprised if the RM walks into our store first thing tomorrow morning.
Guess we'll see.

But yah that was a 'fun' time at work trying to make sure everything looked good while also trying to accomplish all the usual opening tasks. *shakes head*
