Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 307 307. Skills

What surprised Lu Wei was that she was not the first person to interview.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, she saw a tall blond German girl coming out of the manager's office in frustration, muttering and walking towards the entrance of the supermarket.

While Lu Wei was staring at the girl's back, a German man with white hair and beard sat in his office and shouted angrily, "Hello?"

Lu Wei was awakened by the voice, and quickly walked into the office with his schoolbag in his hand, nodding his head, and sitting on the opposite side of the German uncle.

The German uncle is about 60 years old, wearing reading glasses, looks kind and amiable.

"Hello, I'm here to interview for a job." Lu Wei said while gesticulating, "I saw a recruitment notice posted on the glass outside, so I just..."

"My name is Carl, and I'm in charge of recruitment. Please show me your ID." The German uncle said with a smile.

Lu Wei hurriedly piled up all kinds of documents related to part-time work and pushed them in front of the German uncle Karl.

While flipping through the materials, Carl asked casually, "Ms. Lu, have you worked in a supermarket before?"

Just as Lu Wei was about to blurt out and say no, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, I have worked in supermarkets for many years."

"You know, ALDI supermarket has a lot of new summer products, so we urgently need a skilled worker. It would be great if you have work experience in this field." The German uncle said while returning the materials to Lu Wei, and at the same time Get up from your chair.The German man was tall and big, and the chair creaked immediately, as if it would fall apart at any moment.He waved his hand towards Lu Wei, signaling Lu Wei to go out with him.

Lu Wei couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief for his quick wit, and secretly reminded himself not to say the wrong thing again.

"Our interview is actually very simple, mainly to test your language ability and practical ability." The German uncle led Lu Wei to the innermost row of shelves in the supermarket.

This row of shelves looks very new, as if it has just been installed.All kinds of products to be placed on the shelves are piled up in an oversized cardboard box. There are so many products, and the stack is a head taller than Lu Wei.

"First item, please put the goods in this box on the shelf correctly within 15 minutes." The German uncle said with a smile, his white beard trembled, reminding Lu Wei of the tumbler he played when he was a child, "Now it 9:27, I'll check again at 9:42. Do you understand the request?"

Lu Wei nodded solemnly.

The German uncle nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and happily walked back to the office with his hands behind his back.

Time is limited, looking at a large box of goods, Lu Wei did not dare to delay, and immediately took the goods out of the carton, and then placed them on the shelves one by one.

Lu Wei was busy with his hands and feet, when he heard someone behind him shouting, "Is it Lu Wei?"

Lu Wei turned around suddenly and found Dong Qiangqiang standing behind him.

"Hey, long time no see. Why are you here?" Lu Wei subconsciously glanced at the cardboard box next to him, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face.

"I went to work and waited for the bus at the entrance of the supermarket, but the lunch at the place where I worked was too late, and I was afraid that I would not have the energy to work." Dong Qiangqiang raised the bread and bacon in his hand, "so I came in and bought some placemats to cushion my stomach. .And you?"

"Me?" Lu Wei blushed, but immediately felt relieved, and said generously, "I'm interviewing."

"Interview?" Dong Qiangqiang actually saw what Lu Wei was doing just now, but he felt strange, "Do German supermarkets still do interviews like this?"

Lu Wei pinned her hair behind her ears embarrassingly, and pointed to the box: "The Germans asked me to put all the products inside on the shelves."

"That's right." Dong Qiangqiang turned his head and looked around. Seeing that there were no supermarket employees nearby, he leaned closer to Lu Wei and whispered, "But you might suffer a disadvantage if you put it this way."

"A loss?" Lu Wei looked at Dong Qiangqiang suspiciously, "What's a loss?"

"Look at what's on the shelf next to you?"

Lu Wei opened his eyes and looked around carefully: "They are all supermarket products."

Dong Qiangqiang saw that she didn't understand what he meant, and reminded him kindly: "The shelves on both sides of your row (shelves) are filled with daily necessities, but what you put on the shelves now are indeed snacks and audio-visual products. It fits so well."

Lu Wei turned her head and saw that it was true that there were three-piece sets of towels and quilts on the shelves next to her, and she quickly took them down.At the same time, he asked in a low voice: "Then I classify according to daily necessities and non-daily necessities?"

Dong Qiangqiang nodded, and said in a low voice: "After you have sorted the categories, put the products with high sales frequency and low selection in the daily necessities where they are easier for consumers to see and reach, that is, the second place on the shelf. and the third floor, where the products that are at or close to people’s line of sight are the absolute C position. And the products that are large in size, low in transaction volume, and require time to choose will be placed on the lower shelf. After all, most consumers I don’t like bending over to shop.”

Lu Wei suddenly remembered that when he was working in a perfume shop, the foreman seemed to have taught him the same way: Generally speaking, the products on the supermarket shelves are not randomly placed in a haphazard manner, but contain a lot of psychological content. Tall, easy-to-impress products should be placed in the most eye-catching position on the shelf.German supermarkets don't pay much attention to the use of stacked tops to promote products, so what price products are placed on which layer of the shelf is particularly important.

She couldn't help feeling scared, she didn't expect that there were so many "traps" hidden in the interview for a job in a supermarket.Just now I boasted that I have experience working in a supermarket. If Carl saw me messing around, I guess I would not get a job position.

Lu Wei hurriedly reclassified the products in the carton according to Dong Qiangqiang's suggestion, and then put the right products in the right place.

After placing them, Lu Wei temporarily left the sporadic or difficult-to-category or inconvenient-to-stack products in the cartons.

"Looking at it like this is much more comfortable." Dong Qiangqiang praised.

When Lu Wei was busy, he didn't just stand by and help Lu Wei check. After making sure that there was nothing abrupt or strange about the products placed, he nodded in satisfaction.

Lu Wei wiped his sweat, grateful: "Thank you, I was in a hurry just now, I didn't pay attention to the details, almost..."

"It's a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about." Dong Qiangqiang laughed, "Go to the manager quickly."

"That," Lu Wei said strangely, "but how do you know this? You have only been here for a few days, how do you know how to display things in German supermarkets?"
