Undercover Floor Walker (Supermarket)

Shrinkage hurts every retail distribution centre; in Lephalale, you would be the one tracking it down. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll be based at a retail distribution centre in Lephalale. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.
