We arrived at 12:30 🕑 just in time to take over from an earlier shift. The tasks we tackled this time were as follows:

  1. Checking and sorting spring onions delivery 🧅 - this kept Gosia busy for most of the time, bet she will be dreaming about them tonight 😆;
  2. Assembling assorted packages of pastries 🥐 - gracefully handled by Susan and Stuart both wearing protective gloves and stylish aprons;
  3. Packing up bread slices 🍞 - Susan and Stuart prepared a bunch of bags filled with neatly slided bread;
  4. Checking and sorting carrot 🥕 and cabbage 🥬 supply - just after dealing with spring onions Gosia jumped onto the carrots and made sure none was too bendy or off; same task was handled by Susan just in a cabbage space;
  5. Sorting a mix of food on the racks - all to keep the products nice and tidy ready for the shoppers tomorrow.

There was supposed to be an additional delivery while we were there but it eventually didn't arrived in time. We still managed to fill an entire two hours doing something useful 🤓. After chatting for a while with a shift manager, all three of us departed at 14:30.
