Worked at local corner shop doing everything from working the cash register, to restocking, cleaning, locking up and handling stock arrival. Excellent with customer service, and brought a friendly atmosphere to the workplace. Picked up most of the shifts where people couldn't make it due to illness or personal reasons to help the business. Took a break from work to focus on my academics.
