• Keep the store looking its best by upholding Lidl’s high cleanliness standards across the sales floor, restrooms, warehouse, and parking lot.

• Handle customer inquiries, process returns, and professionally resolve or escalate customer issues as they arise.
• Help keep inventory accurate and stock-loss low by sticking to our inventory control measures.
• Ensure a safe environment for both team members and customers by following all safety procedures and operational guidelines.
• Work closely with the team to complete daily tasks on time and ensure smooth store operations for the next shift.
