C-TOWN SUPERMARKET

During my time being employed in this company, I learned office work and how to handle different kinds of people. I would deal with all kinds of life that would walk into that door. Also my coworkers were very amicable and willing to work as a team. While I recieved those benefits from working there, the huge problem was the customers due to the location of the store. Since it is retail, there is obviously going to be customers who regard themselves as "royalty" but there are also customers who can come off as hostile. The amount of people trying to rob the store is unfathomable.  So many small problems amalgamate to one big problem. While there are customers who treat employees with the upmost respect, there are many who treat them like they are beneath them.  My problem is not how the store is ran because the management team and the employees are all fantastic, above standard. In a matter of fact the employees treat each other like family. My only problem was with the clientele.

My shift began as soon as i came out of school wich would be 4:30pm. From that point my registered was already counted by my manager. I had to get there and all hands on deck.The supermarket was always packed and there was always customers who neeed to send money internationally. So that could be one of the things i learned there. I learned how to send money via Money Gram to ther countries internationally. My day manager was so lovely but my evening manager was sometimes bad. I got along with most of my co-workers but there came a pont where some just stopped speaking to me but anyways that didnt affect me in any kind of way. The hardest part ofthe job was to see the very long lines and customers just kept comming in. The most enjoyable part of the job was to see that my manager was actually happy with my job.

I enjoyed being a cashier and working with people. I would come into work and go to my register and do my job. I would also do work outside of my work criteria. I was one of the best cashiers , i am highly responsible. Management at my job would only happen if the manager died or moved on from the job. My Co-workers and i got along very well and we worked together as a team . We always helped each other out with whatever it was that we needed help with. The hardest part of the job was some of the rude customers we would get but i have the patience top deal with those types of customers. What i enjoyed most about my job was handling money and working with people. I am a peoples person and im easy to talk to and work with.

A typical day at work, I would clock in, report to my work area, count the money to verify that my starting amount was correct. Turn on my light to alert customers that I'm ready to attend them. I would greet customers and scan their items, answer questions if any and bag items. 

Staff and managers made you feel like you were at home and that's how we felt we needed to make our customers feel.

Managers are very hands-on

The hardest part of the job was memorizing items codes. The supermarket cashier system was not that advanced, and I needed to memorize produce codes and other items that did not have a price tag so I can manually ring up the sale. 

Talking to the customers, the majority of them were very nice and always wanted to engage in conversations.

Clock in, work with clients, work with vendors, receive shipments, put in shipments, work at the Deli, work at the cashier, deliver people to their houses, clean up duties, clock out. 

Organization skills, communication skills, and team- solo- working skillls.

I was part of management, i was co-manager of the store. I handle payments to vendors, managed incoming products, handled the clients. 

Co-Workers see me as a friend but also as a hard worker that they can trust and depend on.

The pain in my lower back when we work for too much and for too long.

I enjoy everything about this job, but if i had to choose, it would be the satisfaction of the clients using my customer service skills and communication skills to help them out to the fullest.

C-Town taught me to properly sought out items and to stack strategically. The management there was poor, the employees had more power than management did. My co-workers were all around my age group with the exception of a few older men, they were just happy to have a job at such an age. The hardest part of the job was keeping myself busy once all the work was completed. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to see how at times we could all work together as a unit and get the job done faster.

Would begin the day with counting the cash register, and then wait till the customers would come with their food or inquiries. I learned alot, especially in interacting with people. This was the job that taught me how to be less shy towards people. The management was fun, communicable, and very outgoing. Co-workers were a pleasure. It felt like family. Hardest part was the beginning at the customer service position. Many things to do in a little corner. However, it became a breeze afterwards. I just needed the everyday interaction. Most enjoyable were the customers. There were so many personalities and I learned from each of them.

Depending on when my shift started, I would usually get something to eat from the deli at C-Town free of charge. I would then head to the office upstairs to my desk where i would perform most of my tasks along with the owner and a secretary by my side. The work was mainly on my time as long as I finished all of my tasks such as payroll, inventory and handling transactions with vendors. one of the harder points of the job is making sure payroll is complete before paychecks are handed out. Being able to work and socialize with my co workers made the day go by quicker.

In a minimum wage job that isn't too busy, the work environment can be relaxed, offering a nice balance between work and downtime. However, the job can be monotonous, with limited opportunities for skill development or advancement. To excel, focus on being efficient during busy times and proactive during slower periods. Engage with customers and colleagues to create a positive atmosphere. While the pay may be low, the experience can still be valuable, teaching important skills like time management and customer service. Use this job as a stepping stone, and continue seeking opportunities for growth and advancement.
