Fire/Suspend the worst offender to teach them all a lesson and then tell the other two that this is what happens when you fight during work. |

I would conference with the three, and find out what is at the core of the dispute. I would ask about goals and reasons for working at this store. Customers can pick up on this sort of thing, so it is imperative to come to full reconciliation asap.
Perhaps there are issues . . . of some sort . . . perhaps a personnel specialist may want to sit in on the conference. |

I would call them in and talk to them individually, telling them that you are aware of their differences. If possible separate them into different areas or times and let them know that they will need to be able to work together. I would let them know that you are prepared to work with them to help them out, but they need to sort themselves out and if their differences are disruptive they need to know that it is not acceptable. |

Have a meeting with the 3 & explain to them that you realize that they do not get along . But under your watch they may not agree with one another but they must respect each other & get the job done. any problems or complaints have them come to see you . More than likely they are each upset that the other is not doing their part of the job. You may have to assign indivdual tasks & make sure that each one does it.
good luck |

Unfortunately, at some point during our working lives we all have to work with someone that we don't like or get along with. As a manager, you need to step up and rectify the situation at hand.
You could have meetings with each person on an individual basis to try to figure out a solution to the problem, however, I think it's best that you have a meeting with everyone. Sit them down, tell them that if they don't like each other, that's fine, but they need to keep their issues amongst each other. When they're working and helping customers, they need to be professional about it. When it's behind closed doors, that's a different story.
As a manager, you are responsible for your employees actions. You can't make them like each other, but you can make them get along for the sake of the business. If it's possible, schedule them at different shifts so they avoid each other as much as possible, however, in the end, you have the final say. If you make them work together, they need to at least be civil with each other so that it doesn't show to the customers that they don't get along.
Up until a few months ago, I worked with someone who was a miserable pain in everyone's butts. If she liked you, she let everyone know it, but if she hated you, she let everyone know it. She would be your best friend in your face, but as soon as you turned around, she would talk crap about you. She even went as far as talking crap about our manager, in front of our director, with our manager sitting next to her. They ended up giving her an ultimatum as to stay with the company or leave. She ended up leaving, but not without making herself look bad in front of customers and other staff members. We didn't care about the staff part, but the customers that walked in the door only to see her in a rampage against another employee was not a good site, and they ended up walking out without even coming in. Needless to say, she was almost walked out of the building with security.
So, before things get out of hand with your staff, you need to step in. |

More details please. Your employees are not always going to get along. How is it affecting their work (if at all)? |

Let them all know that you expect them to behave like responsible adults and *do their jobs*. Then try to assign them to areas where they aren't directly dealing with each other.
If they continue to fight, write them up for wasting work time over personal squabbles - phrase it as not working well with the team, or causing workplace hostility. If you do have to write them up, make sure you write up *everyone* that's involved, not just the one that you think is the bigger troublemaker. |

It depends on the severity of the situation. If you feel like it is disrupting the whole grocery store, then I would call all three of them to your office and tell them that gossip and fighting will not be tolerated in your store, especially in front of customers. Act as an arbitrator to get the dispute settled. If the problem is not resolved after that, schedule the employees at different times or in different departments or write them up.
If the situation isn't that serious, then as a store manager, you should probably stay out of it. Some drama has its way of working itself out. |

Your the boss, Bring them all together and just let them know that you will not tolerate their behaviour on the job so you expect them to work professionally together or they can find a new job because you will not tolerated the bickering . |

Rise above the argument and point them toward the work that needs done. If you need to overload them with work while they're still arguing, then so be it. |

If they can't be professional on the job, you figure it out. |

Separate them into different departments. Make one a cashier, one work in produce, and the other one in deli so they would never see each other.
I've been working for a supermarket for too long now. You hiring? |
