The new boss comes to town

I had this job where I had a number of out of town big bosses, and evertime someone new would take over one of those jobs, their first move was to travel out to survey all the territories.

Standard practice was to stage some large sale or other fantastic event when the new boss came through for the first time.

I don't know why I got to thinking about that.
