Manager question
How long is the only manager on duty allowed to leave the building for? I get stuck in schedules where it’s myself and one manager for over half of the day and I have one who just up and leaves to either grab themself food or to go handle personal errands and they tend to be gone for up to 30 minutes sometimes. It’s not every time that they’re gone are they absent for that long, but I time it on the occasion and they’re never gone for less than 15 mins. I know it isn’t a long time to be alone in the store but they also do it on closing shifts with other associates when it’s just the two of them and when they return, they go straight to the back and I feel like I don’t see them for 45 mins or more sometimes. I just am wondering if this is something normal and if they’re allowed to leave associates alone in the store. I also don’t know if I should say something or not but it’s kinda frustrating when you have to tell customers multiple times a day “I have no idea where my manager is”.
