Lawrence Village Sparkle Market Managers
Summary: The organizational force behind any workplace. The Managers keep the workers working and the production productive. It is not easy, because I know. I was closing manager a few times. Below are some of the greatest managers and their departments.
 |
| Name: | B., Arlene |
| Employeed Term: | ? - October 28, 2000 |
| Department: | Deli |
| Info: | I don't know Arlene that well, but I'm sure she's a good manager of the deli. | |
| Name: | B., Betty |
| Employeed Term: | Fall '98 - Winter '00 |
| Department: | Office |
| Info: | Betty is probably the kindest person that was there. She did a lot of work and did it well. She was in charge of making the Office, Cashier, and Bagger schedules. She was flawless at making them. She left about 8 months before we closed, and when she left, I never saw her again. :( |
| Name: | D., Jim |
| Employeed Term: | ? - ? |
| Department: | Frozen/Store |
| Info: | If I had to vote for the funniest craziest person, it would be Jim. He could have you rolling on the ground in seconds. He left almost a year into my hiring, so many people won't know him. |
| Famous Quote: | "Ah, screw it." |
 |
| Name: | D., Ron |
| Employeed Term: | ? - October 28, 2000 |
| Nickname: | Ronnie |
| Department: | Dairy/Store |
| Info: | Ron is a good manager and a funny person. He keeps work interesting and makes it enjoyable. He usually had a stock boy work dairy while he went and did the other work that needed to be done. Normally that stock boy would be there for the rest of his shift because dairy requires constant supervision. Ron is now working as the dairy manager of the Transfer Sparkle. |

| Name: | H., Justin |
| Employeed Term: | August 18, 1998 - October 28, 2000 |
| Nickname: | Hacker |
| Department: | Closing Store |
| Info: | I was a temporary manager, who filled in for Mary while she was away. Charity took over HBC stuff, and I did the closing of the store. This is where I found that managers have it rough. There is a lot of work that needed to get done, and I did my best. When Mary returned, and I was no longer needed, I went back to being a Cashier/Stock boy. |
| AOL IM: | Khan Jal |
| E-Mail: | [email protected] | |
 |
| Name: | K., Cindy |
| Employeed Term: | ? - October 28, 2000 |
| Department: | Office |
| Info: | Cindy is a good worker too, but unfortunately she couldn't match Betty's schedule making skills. She is still a good cashier and an office worker. She also got married to Cash during her time there. | |
 |
| Name: | M., Walt |
| Employeed Term: | ? - October 28, 2000 |
| Nicknames: | Milt, Wayne, Wade, Hank, and Chip |
| Department: | Frozen/Store |
| Info: | Walt came way after Jim left. I'm not even sure if Walt has been with us for a year. All in all though, Walt is a good worker and a great guy to be around. |
| Most likely to be found: | Customer Service Desk | |
 |
| Name: | M., Mary |
| Employeed Term: | ? - October 28, 2000 |
| Department: | HBC/Store |
| Info: | Mary is one you have to know to understand. When you first work with her, you would almost think there is no personality, but she does best what people almost never do... her job. She is by far the best and most strict worker we have. I've learned that if she tells you to do something... you do it. No questions. She is a nice person when you get to know her. Where she works next will be lucky to have her. | |
| Name: | M., Charla |
| Employeed Term: | ? - October 28, 2000 |
| Department: | Video |
| Info: | I didn't know she was a manager for the longest time. She took some time off when she gave birth to her son, but when she came back I thought she was being hired for the first time! She's a friendly person and nice to be around. |
 |
| Employeed Term: | ? - October 28, 2000 |
| Name: | S., Rick |
| Department: | Produce |
| Info: | Rick is a funny jolly person. He likes to talk and he makes his points well known. He is not afraid to speak his mind or to tell someone the facts. | |
 |
| Name: | S., Bob |
| Employeed Term: | ? - October 28, 2000 |
| Department: | Store |
| Info: | When I first met Bob, he didn't seem to smile at all. This made me weary of him so I always kept my distance for the time. Part of that was also due to being a cashier, we didn't have much interaction with the managers. I did eventually get to know him and I learned he is a good person. He can be real humorous at times, and be strict the next time. |
