Thanks to the support of Genuardi s Family Markets, children may now punch-in on a time clock and work in a stock room, bake tasty treats in a bakery, sip drinks in a caf , and, of course, grab a cart and shop for groceries. The new stock room creates the perfect opportunity for children to pretend to be a store employee and have the experience of restocking shelves and many other supermarket jobs.
Children enter the stock room, put on an apron, and punch-in for work on the time clock.
A conveyor belt that is cranked by hand helps the new employees load carts with fresh products to put on the store shelves. Also, just as in a real supermarket, the stock room is separated from the shopping area by plastic strips that guests may easily pass through to see which departments need to be restocked. The employee experience may be further explored in the new bakery. This area features a kitchen with baking ovens, a diner-style counter for employees to wait on shoppers, a cash register for ringing and placing orders, and a bakery case full of yummy baked treats. Aspiring bakers may follow recipe cards to cook up a tasty treat and then serve it to their customers.
