Cashier (Former Employee) – Saskatoon, SK – 1 August 2018
A typical day at work would be to come in, change coffee, wash the bathroom, then stand around at the till and serve customers.
I learned about different brands of cigarettes from king size to regular sizes 20 and 25 packs and cigars. I think managements was very friendly and understanding that we are humans and not robots and everyone learns differently. The culture has people from different countries and backgrounds working there. Hardest part of the job was understanding and learning the different cigarette packages because they all look the same to me and I don't smoke so it was so hard for me to get the correct ones for customers. The most enjoyable part of the job was operating the gas pumps on the till and operating the lotto machine.

I worked for Shell for 13 years. My managers were always supportive, and they genuinely care about developing their staff. Almost everyone I worked with was cooperative and friendly. The company will give you the ability to develop your technical as well as your soft skills. Everyone is valued. The managers will understand what you are good at, and they will find the right position for you. I highly recommend this company. I will always miss them.
