I worked to provide the best possible shopping experience for every customer. Whatever the customer needed, I worked to meet their requirements as best as possible. I priced and marked the due dates for any item in my area that needed it. I kept the area as clean as I could so no contamination to the product was possible. Whatever my boss needed me to do, I was willing to do even if it was something new. If it was something new, I tried to work as fast as possible to do the job as fast and efficiently as could be.

I would take care of the customer when needed. If they needed help with clothes fittings, I would call someone who knows how to take measurements of the clothes.
