I personally love cleanliness. Cleanliness can make, or break, your reputation. Yesterday, I spent the last few minutes of a 12 hour shift walking around the store with my Operator, taking notes of everything that needed to be cleaned. It’s HIGH on his priority list, which means it needs to be high on ours. But why? Simply because the boss man says it needs to be done, or maybe because if it’s not done, we receive low scores when inspected… or perhaps if we refuse, it’s our job at stake? Honestly, you could make a case for any of the above suggestions… but what my Operator, Dean, instills in us is that we need to be a FAITHFUL STEWARD of ALL that God has entrusted to us. WOW! If we get that… if we TRULY grasp that… even the not-so-glamorous parts of our service, like cleaning, will be enjoyable. Cleaning is so important, but having the right attitude and motive behind the cleaning… that’s a GAME CHANGER!
