Shelf replenishers label items with prices, move merchandise to shelves and display areas, and help decorate sales floors. They check the shelves and fill any gaps with supplies from the warehouse. They also reorder merchandise as instructed, assist with quality control inspections, and perform inventory checks with skilled workers during physical inventories. If the retail store or branch offers a shipping service, they pack ordered items and make them ready for shipment. In service stations, sales assistants help skilled workers perform services on motor vehicles, sell products in the service station store, and maintain the service station. Cleaning the sales and storage areas may also be part of their duties.
