Job Responsibilities

dressed in proper uniform , to give out certain tasks to other
members of staff. To be there when a question or need arises.

tidy and making sure the dates of the products were rotated
properly as in older dates to the front of the shelf and kept
tidy and maintaine a good rapor with the customer.

Advice to Jobseekers
I loved this job it is very interesting and never dull. working
within a department you will meet good friends and interaction
with customers is good too. You get the odd complaint but you are
trained to deal with these situations and if you are stuck there
is always a manager on hand to help. Bakery work to me was great
i loved learning how different breads and cakes are made and the
training you get whilst working in great and can lead to
management if you so wish.
