  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • As an apprentice I carry out many roles within the working day in superdrug. This can range from serving customers at the till point, pulling stock, facing the shop and answering customer quieries. When promotion change comes around, I help out with the changing of blips and ticket changes. Occasionally I'll also carry out shelf plans and floor walks.
