When I first started at Sainsburys, I was contracted to be a food sales assistant until that changed 4 months after my recruitment. As a Delivery assistant, I was required to unload and reload multiple lorry's everyday. I would do this on a unloading platform for heavy loads with a electric pump truck. Before my lorry's came, I was required to count stock as well as keeping the warehouse and yard organised and clean. Additionally, I would empty and reset a Orwak 9020 (Baler). This would include cleaning out any loose carboard or debris, reset the ejection mechanism, retie and secure the strings around the baler hooks, locking the door up, then resetting the compression system. Finally, my last requirement was to bring out MU's (movable units) out onto shop floor using the electric pump truck, which contained different types of products.
During my employment at OFFICE, I had to assist my customers with finding the correct shoes and size. Additionally, I would improve the sale by offering alternative items such as socks and shoe care. Whenever I had spare time I organised the stock room into size and brand order which ultimately made the shoes easier to find. During weekdays, we would receive delivery's which meant helping bringing in heavy loads of shoes and ensuring we have got the correct amount. After a few months, I was given the responsibility to open and close the store. This included, setting up the tills in the morning, mopping and tidying up the display. When I would close the store, I had to cash up the tills ensuring we've met our target for the day, testing the fire alarm, locking the door to the stock room and cash office.
