I first worked as a cashier, while attending college. During this time, I often worked alone as the store was owned by one person and the owner was frequently absent during my shift. The owner, Mr. Jeziorski approved of me, and I was soon given more responsibilities, such as training new employee and closing store, locking up receipts and securing the premises. I was responsible for keeping the shelves properly stocked and during my shift I was expected to resolve problems when they arose. I also assisted during inventory as needed and helped out with janitor or whatever else might need to be done.
