FoodWorks Supermarket

A typical day at Montmorency involves a variety of tasks. What that means for me is to do the following: serve customers behind the counter, work in the storeroom collecting stock for the liquor department, and receiving large orders from warehouses. Management is very friendly and are always happy to have a laugh, but still maintain a good environment. This also applies for my co-workers, we all get along and there has never been any fighting or bad feelings towards anyone. The hardest part of the job is on occasions keeping yourself busy, when all your tasks are complete (we are quite a small store) there is only very little to do, and it is not hard to feel unproductive. The most enjoyable part is serving customers and getting to know them. At Montmorency we have our regular customers who come in almost every day. We get to know these people and they get to know us, it makes work much more fun and enjoyable to see these familiar faces every day and know that they share the same feelings as I do.

A typical day at work would be trying to keep yourself busy at all times, lots of friendly local customers and easy going staff to work with. I learned how to stock/retstock shelves and when it was necessary to do so. I learned the process of locking up and opening up the store early in the mornings. I learned how to deal with unsatisfied customers by keeping calm and always being friendly, the customer is always right and a customers needs always comes first. People I worked with were mostly young adults, some irresponsible or quite rude at times. The hardest part of the job was trying to keep yourself busy when there were no duties to take out, it was kind of a request by our boss that we make ourselves look busy by constantly cleaning windows or we would get a lecture about looking lazy. The most enjoyable part of the job was serving the happy customers and cleaning the store and doing the dishes. Management was quite crass at times and had a bit of a power trip addiction.

FoodWorks has recently been under new management, and are intensifying their customer service and are aiming to bring back the customers that previous owners had lost. They have been working very hard to make this a better business, however have been struggling as it is the start of the new management.
The pay isn't the best at the moment, but thats due to the new circumstances. It was great working with the staff and members involved with FoodWorks as they were friendly, approachable and easy to get along with.
The management was flexible, and the manager was very approachable at all times, and always wanted the best for all members and staff.
Overall, i had a great experience with working with the FoodWorks team members, and a good experience in customer service which helped me to advance in my skills for the future.

A typical day would start off as unlocking, putting the first lot of chickens on, getting the tills out, unlocking the safe, turning on other machines, logging on to the registers, daily cigarette replenish, fruit replenish. so on and so forth. I dropped out of high school, and asked the boss if i could possible work full time, after working full-time for a few weeks, i got granted supervisor of younger co-workers, despite already being a junior, giving me responsibilities to keys and all kinds of access out back. My co-workers were great, very co-operative and good at listening, there were a couple who were difficult and had to be constantly reminded of what they should be doing, rather than just sitting there. The most enjoyable part of working at Foodworks, was interacting with the community. It was a lot better when we got the lotto registers and started selling golden casket products, business went soaring and it was easy to keep customers happy.

A typical day at work included, sorting through stock checking for freshness,discarding and or marking down less than fresh lines. receiving of deliveries,putting them away in either cool room or back stock locations. replenishing shop with fresh stock,maintaining ticketing. Updating invoices,changing prices if applicable. Ordering stock on line or with sales reps.I learned a lot in the twelve years I worked at Foodworks including staff management calculating weekly sales figures,stock taking operating Grocery Manager.
One of the hardest jobs i had to do while working at Foodworks was for several weeks we had no loading dock while the building extension was being built, during that time we had to hand unload our produce deliveries 3 times a week with the help of the truck driver.
The most enjoyable part of my job was achieving a record week in sales, introducing new lines and seeing them sell, during seasonal times selling plants and flowers.

A typical day at Foodworks would include starting at 6am, getting in and heating up all the hot foods, serving customers while bagging fruit and veges, sweeping and mopping, cleaning out the kitchen, restocking the cold and hot drinks and any other shelves low on stock, including the confectionery. While working through out the day I always learn new things whether its how to do new jobs or dealing with new personality of customers. My coworkers are absolutely lovely people, they help me with some jobs when they have spare time and always give me my break on time. The hardest part of my job would definately be when its busy and I have to manage all my duties as  well as serving, but never the less I have them done by finish time and always give goodvibes to my customers. The most enjoyable part of my job would have to be having a conversation with my customers, some lovely people come in to the workplace and it really puts a shiner on my day.

this job relies on you knowing your products. What time of year will you sell a certain thing? Do you have enough stock available for a long weekend? Can you lift heavy things?
Yes, all of the above are requirements of this job.
Staff are easy to get along with though there is a little bit of in-house competition.
There is always a challenge,  though you may sometimes have to look for it.
Make a point of knowing your boss and how they like their business to operate.
Keep those communication lines open between all staff, let them know what you want. Same goes for customers, but you have to ask what they would like to see. Keep your shelves clean, bright and presentable and full! Stock won't sell from a storeroom!. Make sure your special tickets are current, the customer can pay the price of an old special if that ticket is still on the shelf, and they have a right to!
This job can be great fun with the right attitude.

Foodworks heyfield is a very friendly envinroment. A typical day at work is very busy getting everything organised . Cutting meats, wrapping sausages and filling the case. I learnt alot at work.
