From the publisher

This podcast provides practical training for convenience store sales associates. Each episode covers real situations that new employees face during a shift, including customer service, merchandising, inventory, safety, and day-to-day store operations. Many stores do not have time to train employees properly. Dive helps close that gap by explaining how convenience stores actually work and how associates can become more confident and effective on the job. If you are new to the convenience store industry or want to improve your skills behind the counter, this podcast will help you understand the work, the expectations, and the small habits that lead to success in a busy store.
