According to JMDict there are so many words for a
[manager](http://tangorin.com/general/manager) depending on the context. Can
someone provide clarification on the context of each term? What is the most
appropriate term for a gym manager or a drug store manager? Is the borrowed
term マネージャー widely accepted?

question
pragmatics
What word to use to refer to a manager at a gym/drug store?
I'd say `マネージャー (Manager)` or `店長 (Store Manager)`. All the other words don't
quite fit (except `支店長 (Branch Store Manager)` or possibly `課長 (Department
Manager)`).  
Basically the list contains lots of various job titles (think "VP", "Head of
X", "Chairman" etc).
