I just got a job at the grocery store.

This is my first job.

I will receive a pay cheque every two weeks.

I wear a uniform.

The uniform has the name of the grocery store on it.

I have many jobs at the grocery store.

I have to collect all the carts from the parking lot

and bring them back into the store.

I have to put all the produce out for the people to see.

I will be putting out the vegetables.

There are carrots, lettuce, cabbages, cucumbers and beans to put out this morning.

I also have to put the fruit out on the stands so that it looks nice.

The oranges roll away when I put them out, so I have to be careful.

I put out the apples, bananas and grapes.

I stack boxes up so that people can buy cereal and cookies.

I have to be careful, or the boxes will fall.

There are cans of things which also need to be placed on the shelves.

Yesterday, I filled the shelves with canned vegetables and soup.

I like talking to people at the grocery store.

This morning, a lady asked me where the bakery department was.

She needed a loaf of bread.

I have directed people to the meat department,

and to the dairy products.

I would like to work in the bakery.

I think I would like to bake cakes and decorate them.

It would be fun to bake breads and cookies.

Or maybe, I would like to be a cashier,

and work at the cash register.

I am very good at counting money.

I am enjoying my job at the grocery store.

I hope that I can continue to work here part-time during the school year.
