Summary
Reliable and team-oriented professional with hands-on experience in both fast-paced restaurant and retail environments. At Wing Busters, I delivered great customer service, handled money accurately, and helped new team members get up to speed. As a checker at Hy-Vee, I built strong customer-facing skills by efficiently scanning items, managing long lines, resolving pricing issues, and maintaining a friendly, positive attitude during busy shifts. I take pride in keeping things running smoothly, solving problems on the fly, and making sure every customer leaves satisfied—whether they're grabbing a quick meal or checking out their weekly groceries.
