The long, cold months of winter can be a difficult time to work in retail, especially if your job duties include manually retrieving shopping carts from the parking lot. Consumers who venture out into the sub freezing temperatures may be less likely to return their carts to the appropriate areas once their cars have been loaded with their purchases. This means that retail employees will have to scour the parking lot, in frigid temperatures, in search of the errant carts.
Without access to a piece of labor saving equipment like a shopping cart retriever, this task can be quite laborious and exceedingly time consuming. A shopping cart retriever can help a single employee easily handle up to fifty shopping carts at a time, dramatically reducing the amount of time it takes to gather carts. The shopping cart retriever also eliminates virtually all of the physical strain associated with the task of shopping cart retrieval, keeping valuable employees injury free as they perform their job duties.
The shopping cart retriever from DJ Products is very easy to operate and works well in virtually all weather conditions. Hourly employees will be able to quickly and safely gather carts from the farthest reaches of the parking lot and return them for use by incoming shoppers during inclement or unfavorable weather situations.
A shopping cart retriever can also work to improve the overall efficiency of your operation. A shopping cart retriever minimizes the time it take to perform this particular task, which allows those employees responsible for cart retrieval to readily tackle other duties in the establishment. Employees who previously spent the majority of their time on the clock collecting carts could now be available to help bag items at checkout, stock shelves or lend a hand cleaning.
