Well in most cases I loved the fact that I would be interacting with people that made a day worthwhile at work.
I learned that serving a customer comes with a variety of skills and if indeed you have one that is Communication then your in this field for a long term.
I remember how my manager was friendly and welcoming and understanding, and so I could say the whole management was good for us as lower staff, which made the work to be more fun and enjoyable.
The hardest part was when I was shifted to work in the liquor department, there was too much work and even if that may have been the case I am still glad I learned much of it.
When people due to friendliness you give unto customers and they then want to reimburse you for, only to find out that is not allowed, yes the customers would be sad and down about that, but at least that would have been part of your job to give out great customer service.

A typical day at work involves assisting customers, handling transactions, restocking shelves, and keeping the store organized. I learned strong customer service, teamwork, and time management skills. Management is supportive but expects efficiency, and the workplace culture encourages respect and collaboration. The hardest part of the job is managing busy periods and challenging customer situations, but the most enjoyable part is helping customers find what they need and seeing them satisfied.


It was a constructive day.
Taught me how to approach customers with good communication skills.
 My daily job was to interact with customers to wrap Christmas Gifts as well as make sales of small Christmas items. I also was making hampers for big clients that Men to dealt with.

I've had a great experience working in makro stores and i don't regret to have ever worked for that store, you get to meet new people everyday and there are opportunities growth within the store if one can do their job and be on time you will never experience any problems

I learned that as the employee you must have perseverance,  I now have experience on how to serve people .being shouted by the customer is the most painful part but I ignore that .I enjoyed the complements I get from the customers 

Makro is a big that comes with lots of opportunities for their employees, they specialize in giving the best possible service to the customers ensures the safety of the employees at all costs

Makro has a lot of fun people whom are even more motivated due to their set daily targets within the establishment ,people skills is what i've learned from makro basically and that hard work beats any form of talent

The Makro management is very good on treating workers an customers. Harderst part is where by maybe as i was the end controller when customers dont want me to check their plastic.

I'm working on any circumstances, building Strong commitment with my colleagues because I believe that they're one that I spent most of the time with them
