I ran the register. Put out inventory on the shelves.

I unloaded the trucks with new merchandise every week.

Handled all of the store and office responsibilities.

Each day I had to count up the money from each register and make up the deposit for the store.

I was the only employee there.I ordered all of the inventory and put it out as needed. It was my job to keep up with the newest releases so that I could make sure to have them in the store.I also had to handle taking measurements when choirs ordered new robes.Making sure all of the paperwork was correct. I was the only cashier.I took care of the deposits at the end of the day.
