What do you believe are the key responsibilities of this role?

Asked

Convincing the customers that you are happy by smiling, even if you aren't happy, but this is retail in general as no one wants to hear you say how bad your day was.
Stacking shelves with Alcohol, serving customers, listening to the manager to try to set jobs out on the day, receiving big pellets of boxes and moving them into the shop. Ticking off sheets to make sure everything has come in on the load. Cleaning up each night and completing paperwork by counting money in the till.
