    shift can have a negative effect on the business. I strongly recommend that at least two employees work a shift.  It is important that each customer gets taken care of in a professional and timely manner. Customers are constantly in a rush to buy sneakers at Finishline. Having only one employee on the floor has definitely caused our location to have some issues.

For example, i think of Raf Simmons, Lebron James, Michael Jordan, kanye, and so many more. Fortunately, there's not only one way to view sneakers.
