Subject: Application for the part-time cashier position
Dear Sir or Madam,
Your supermarket in Martigny is looking for a cashier at 60%. I have worked on the tills for three years and am looking for a job closer to home.
At Marché du Coude, I serve several hundred customers a day, cash up and handle customer service: returns, vouchers and complaints. My cash-ups have had no significant discrepancies since I started, and I am happy to help in the fresh produce section when needed.
Your shop is known for its team spirit, and I would be glad to be part of it.
I am available from 1 February, including Saturdays and evenings. I would be glad to meet you.
Kind regards,
Sabrina Darbellay
