• Make sure the store safe and legal - keep the shelves stocked and make sure prices, dates, and temperatures are all as they should be
• Help introduce new products and services - make changes feel natural, sharing experiences with your colleagues so everyone learns together
• Support your local community - get involved in all kinds of activities and events!
