Apr 2019 - Jul 2021
Worked for nearly two and a half years as a cashier and clerk at a local independent grocery store. From this I learned the value of customer satisfaction and developed critical customer service and conflict resolution skills. Additionally, I truly was able to first-hand understand the importance of building personal relationships with your customers and see how these relationships would consistently prove beneficial both parties.
