Self Checkout Host

October 2018 • Cheektowaga, NY

What I liked

Customer service! A lot of people have always complained about a service job, but I found that I enjoyed assisting customers and putting smiles on their faces. Furthermore, I feel more integrated in the community since most locals frequent the store. Over the summer, I switched positions from Front End Cashier to Self Checkout Host and am in the middle of training for Money Center and the Customer Service Desk for future positions.

What I wish was different

A better communication system that didn't require direct contact at the store. Unfortunately, I called off a couple of days for personal reasons and the lack of email or other electronically delivered information made communication with administration difficult.

Advice

Keep an open mind, and do your best! That way, you can work with a clear mind and not let the smallest of slights ruin your day.

Bakery Associate

June 2018 - August 2019 • Winchester, VA

What I liked

The people that work here were incredibly kind and helpful. I was able to be given a non-official leadership role over a couple of associates as we attempted to meet deadlines and provide the customer with a memorable and inviting experience. Throughout the summer, I had the privilege to create friendly and engaging relationships with not only several associates and with upper management but also with many customers that frequented the store.

What I wish was different

Honestly, it was a very ideal job. The physicality involved was not very taxing; the work was fairly monotonous but this made the work easier before it ever made altogether boring.

Advice

No job is too menial for you not to try your best, to shine into others' lives (whether associate or customer), and to learn from the work and the conversations, really the experiences.
