- Follow cash rules – count the money accurately, use the drop‑safe correctly, and get supervisor sign‑off for any price changes.
- Deal with stock – receive deliveries, store items in the right place, and help with stock‑taking and rotation.
- Maintain a clean store – keep the backroom and display areas tidy, flatten boxes, and follow safety guidelines.
