• Monitor front-end register queues, directing backup cashiers as needed to maintain rapid customer checkout speeds.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for customer inquiries, service resolutions, and pricing or return escalations.
• Enforce food safety, cold-chain compliance, workplace safety, and sanitation guidelines across all store departments.
• Provide continuous on-the-job coaching, performance feedback, and training to store associates and new hires.
