Supermarket.
Checkout, shelves, customer service: in the supermarket, you keep the shop running. You operate the till, restock goods, assist customers and make sure everything looks tidy – especially when it gets busy.
THIS AWAITS YOU
Typical tasks in a supermarket.
Whether you are on the till or stocking shelves is set out in the shift rota beforehand. The team in the store will explain the till system and procedures to you.

PRICES
Maintain labels and prices
You replace price tags, mark special offers and check whether the shelf and the till show the same prices.
