Our Trip to Botany Town Centre

We are discovering the many jobs people do and our visit to New World was a great start as we saw the number of jobs that take place at the supermarket. We met Daniel, the manager, who introduced us to the many people working in the various sections of the store. We enjoyed seeing the two storage areas at the back of the shop - one for fresh produce with a large chiller and the other for packaged foodstuffs.

Here are some of the workers we met -

The baker

The fresh produce packer

New World Owner and one of his staff

The Checkout Staff

The butcher

The shelf packer

The Manager

The stock administrator

The fruit, nut and lolly supplier
