The Perimeter Failure: How Store Managers become completely isolated inside the building and ignore the immediate physical frustration of the customers at the fuel pumps. The Physical Correction: The exact procedure for pulling your Store Manager outside and forcing them to experience the exact equipment failures the customers are experiencing. The Supply Chain Audit: Why District Managers must physically inspect the back storage room to verify the location possesses adequate receipt paper and washing fluid.
