00:00Is it hard for you to get people notice in the stores? I go to the drugstores. They're always fresh people all the time. New pants. Yes. You know, there's a lot of turnover at the hourly level. I will admit. But as we have these conversations, it's becoming less about pay and more about their lifestyle and what they want to do and progression. And so what we're encouraging is that, you know, work at a Walgreens store and you can become a shift manager and escalate. And that's really what they want to think about as a career and development. So if you were an entry level person at one of these stores like Walgreens, what kind of compensation you got is more above the minimum wage, but you pay like 15 dollars an hour. Exactly. Exactly. And then it moves up based on, you know, shift manager and other responsibilities in the building. So I've noticed that in a lot of these stores I go into, they used to be younger people post college or something, which the younger people working servicing the drugstore. Now I see a lot of people who are older, like post retirement kind of people doing it. Is that a phenomenon? You know, we we see both, you know, on the younger end of the spectrum, it's those looking for development or fill in job while they're in college and doing something otherwise in their lives. And then the retirement community is a very rich environment for us to recruit from.
