Sentimental Possession of Tagging Guns
It is one thing to ask a fellow who has worked at one branch of a supermarket chain for over a decade to change branches, it’s rough but it is in a way understandable. To make that same employee give up their trusted price tagging gun is another thing entirely. When you have clocked as many hours with a particular price tagging gun as my uncle had, it becomes a very important touchstone of your employment accomplishments. Advances from lowly man on staff to manager, from a guy who worked part time to a salaried, benefit garnering employee. That gun is sometimes the only constant.
To move to another branch with all that experience and no physical reminder of your logged hours to show for it seems cruel. This is why I believe supermarket chains should be more sensitive to the needs of their employees to carry the same tagging guns with them into new employment opportunities. It is a good way to keep some things consistent for the most loyal of employees. My uncle has since acclimated to his new place of work and to his new price tagging gun, which is not to say that he doesn’t still miss his old one not to mention his old coworkers and customers. But life moves on.
