Dylan King

Must be accredited by the National Registry of Food Safety Professionals, as a 'Certified Food Safety Manager,' to hold this position.

Main responsibilities are to assist the Store Manager and Assistant with total operation of the store. FL has an electronic production tool for our fresh departments to essentially produce the "freshest" on demand. I check that associates are producing as they need to at night. Then audit department closes, including proper sanitation of all equipment and floors. Assist the front end in all aspects, and manage when my office assistant is off the clock. I develop our QA associates. The Evening Manager is a replenishment manager when no duties are assigned, but I go beyond filling holes and look at the total store during my shift. For example, I am assisting in pulling the frozen truck for my perishable closer, so he can spend those extra five minutes straightening the sales floor.

This is the lead position of the Health Beauty Care department, in addition to stocking meticulous food items like Hispanic food, spices, GF, batteries, register displays, etc. There was not much leadership given in a role where you stock trucks three times a week, so I took it and made myself a boss with the tools I had. First, I learned what sold more and less in all my sections. Then I manipulated shelf space and pushed back all pegboards in the store to have more products on those hooks! every truck was finished with the product neatly stocked and rotated in all sections.Typical delivery was 4,000 items/cases.

A perishable associate at Food Lion works universally in Dairy, Frozen Food, and Market/Seafood. Market Seafood was my primary. FL only butches Ribeye and NYS so I have no experience with a saw. Produced steaks and ground beef, noting presentation in wrapping and labeling for the shoppers' best experience. Rotated and stocked all product on sales floor with 100% accuracy. The seafood case was sold inside the market, which added more challenges to maintain a full case and sales floor on a busy day. What was not challenging was to consider the food safety aspect of this entire position and I never let my supervisor or team fail an audit.

Same responsibilities followed this same position. I joined this store in the beginning of the summer season so the movement was relevant to my old store.

On my 2 week trip to work in Ocean City, I assisted during the busy summer season helping on the Front End, as well as helping Center Store.

In this position, I trained over 30 associates in the sales associate role, Reminding them of all aspects of our customer model, as well as the importance of accuracy while working at a store with weekly sales of $1,000,000. Proficiently handled all accounting work with high detail to eliminate any errors during audits. Basic customer service functions (Western Union, money order, lottery, returns).

Additional departments I assisted in were Food Lion To Go, RPC (scan analyst), and HBC (Specialty Merchandising)
