Your day usually starts before the doors open, walking the floor, checking displays and making sure tills are float-ready. As customers arrive, you switch into service mode, moving between till points, fitting rooms and the stockroom, helping shoppers find what they need and keeping a quiet eye on shrinkage.

Beyond that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Northern Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
