Carolyn (ot)

[Guest guest]

Congrats on the new job Carolyn! Do you mind if I ask what grocery chain? My

parents have both worked in and out of the grocery industry for a while (in

store/out of store) and my Aunt whom is like my 2nd mother has been with the

same one for near 30 years (Wegmans) But my folks have also worked for Tops and

HEB. And I have sort of a very nerdy interest in the industry and the different

regional chains....or maybe it should be called eccentric. I just figure I will

end up there (doing supply chain analysis) eventually career wise. I can't do

politics forever.

I hope you have wonderful customers and enjoy the position! Let us know how it

goes!
