Working a 12-hour bar shift with two different managers showed me everything

The first half was with Sarah, who just points at a mess and says "clean that." The second half was with Mike, who actually showed me his system for restocking during slow periods. Which manager do you think made the shift run smoother and why?

Mike's system sounds way better. Sarah just creates more work by making you guess. Showing someone the method saves time and stops problems before they even start.

My own system is more like Sarah's, but with extra steps for confusion. I once wrote instructions so unclear I couldn't even follow them myself a week later.

Yeah @susana66, I used to overcomplicate things too until I saw how much simpler Mike's way is.
