Having worked at CVS for about three years now, I have developed strong relationships with both my customers. Some of my customers are “regulars,” so I know many of them on a first-name basis. I see many of these customers several times throughout the week, and I usually hold conversations with them while I am completing their transaction. I also talk with these customers while I am working on the floor or stocking shelves. One couple knows me so well that they asked my coworkers where I was when I temporarily left my job to move into college and complete my first year. When I returned to CVS to work over winter break, we had a conversation about my plans for school and what my schedule will look like throughout the remainder of the school
year. Similarly, I am very close with my coworkers. Holding conversations throughout our shifts not only allows us to keep a close relationship, but it also makes our shifts more enjoyable. Sometimes talking with my coworkers while completing tasks helps the time pass by more quickly. One night, my coworker Courtney and I were instructed to hang sale signs throughout the store. This is usually a very time-consuming process, but we worked together in the aisles while another coworker was assigned to the cash register. Courtney and I held conversations not only with each other, but also with customers throughout this process. We completed sale signs much earlier than we expected, and this allowed us to complete other tasks for the night. The fact that we finished our task early while talking and having fun throughout our shift proves that one can be sociable yet productive at work. I am willing to commit as many hours as possible to PSA Bartending each month. Since the number of hours available per month probably varies, I am willing to work the maximum number of available events per month. *I will be available everyday throughout the week during the summer. I work at CVS during the summer, but I can take off to bartend as long as I know the dates 2 weeks in advance. My hours at CVS are very flexible, and I have never had a problem with taking off because of prior commitments.*
