To handle repetitive tasks, I focus on maintaining a positive attitude and finding ways to keep engaged, such as setting small goals or listening to music when possible. Breaking tasks into smaller segments can help maintain motivation.

If I notice a co-worker not following company policies, I would approach them privately to discuss my concerns. If the behavior continues or if it's a significant issue, I would inform a supervisor to ensure that workplace standards are upheld.

My biggest strength in a retail environment is my ability to connect with customers. I enjoy building rapport and understanding their needs, which helps me provide personalized service and create a memorable experience.
