About your past

The goal is to have the floor set, in stock and signed by the time the store opens. What would you do if you could see you weren't going to finish your section?

You notice a teammate is cutting corners, stacking boxes unsafely or shoving product wherever it fits. What do you do?

About the work

Why is it important to work the oldest product to the front and newer product behind it?

How would you keep the backroom organized so the day team can find what you put away?
What they are checking: Whether they see inventory accuracy as a handoff to the next shift, not just their own task.
