At Tesco in Potters Bar my primary responsibility was working at the petrol station kiosk away from the main store. I thrived in this fast-paced role, serving customers with a keen eye on their needs while ensuring their safety on the forecourt. Additionally, I maintained the store's stock levels throughout the day, guaranteeing that all products were up to date and readily available to customers.
