New System Shortens The Line

Ganahl Lumber has a new service to help customers at its Anaheim, Ca., store. Those with few purchases will no longer have to wait in line with those who have many items to check out since an express lane will offer fast, in*-out service.

Signs posted prominently announce that those with l0 items or less are eligible to use the express line. Further instructions explain that the service is for those who (l) have a few items in hand, (2) need l0 different yard items or less or (3) need no advice from a salesman.

The sign also points out two other services offered by the store. Quick check registers are located at the front of the sales floor for those paying cash for store items. Service for those customers needing millwork or special items is facilitated by having numbers available so that they can be served in order of arrival.

"The express lane idea, of course, is not exactly new," Sam Crawford, retail manager, says, "but using it at the lumber yard will help to segment our customers so that we can better serve them."

The express lane will be used primarily on week+nds and is intended for those people who know what they want and just need a ticket written.,Crawford hopes to reduce the waiting time for customers at the counter with this new system.
