• Get to know our in-store offers and schemes and promote them – the more info we can give our customers the better.
• Help our stores run smoothly – this could look like ensuring we have the right products displayed on the shop floor, providing a great service to customers, or helping with replenishing stock from our deliveries.

If an unaccounted period is longer than 28 days, an additional reference should be provided to cover this short period. The five-year period will need to cover the exact last 5 years, from today’s date.
