- Greet every visitor with a smile and a friendly hello.
- Ask questions to discover what the shopper is looking for and recommend suitable items.

- Suggest extra items that match the original purchase – for example, socks with a new pair of trainers.
- Process sales using the POS system, handling cash, cards, or other accepted payments.
- Keep the sales floor organized: restock shelves, arrange displays, and label new stock.
- Maintain a clean, safe environment – wipe surfaces, tidy aisles, and report any suspicious activity.
- Follow adidas’s loss‑prevention rules to protect merchandise from theft.
- Attend regular training through platforms such as Atticus, AREA, and Power BI to stay updated on product launches and store performance.
- Help out as a greeter during busy periods, ensuring a smooth flow of customers into the store.
