User journey
Field Observation
I conducted on-site field observations at a gas station to gain firsthand insights and understand the actual user experience
Insights:
Operational Inefficiency
The extended queue suggests ineffective management of resources, leading to longer waiting times for customers
Staffing Challenges
Overloaded and unorganized employees might indicate a lack of adequate staffing or training, resulting in difficulties managing customer flow efficiently
Customer Experience Impact
Long waiting times can significantly impact the overall customer experience, potentially leading to customer dissatisfaction and affecting the station's reputation
I created a comprehensive blueprint detailing the entire customer journey, mapping out their experience from arrival to departure
