  • Ensure fronting and facing is complete for all parts displays
  • Check all used Work Order items are returned to the Parts department
  • Replenish empty parts bins from overstock
  • Check text message inbox to address any unanswered customer conversations

…and probably a whole bunch of other unexpected things.
