Undercover Floor Walker (Supermarket)

Retail in Gqeberha runs on thin margins, and a building-supplies store needs someone guarding its stock. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.
