ShopRite, Dan Rubin of Preston has many responsibilities. What means the most to him, though, is making his customers happy, and keeping them that way.
“Customers have choices,” Dan says, “but
ShopRite offers great value and prices along with customer service. For example, we have one very good promotion—if you spend $300, you are eligible for a free ham or turkey.” “Baby Bucks is another terrific program,” Dan adds. “If you spend $100 on participating baby items such as formula, wipes, diapers, and baby food, you receive $10 off a future order.” Dan has worked at ShopRite for 18 years and started out as a bagger. “As Assistant Manager I have many responsibilities. I open and close the store, oversee the cashiers and the courtesy-desk employees, and write the work schedules.”
Dan Rubin
Helping his customers brings Dan the greatest satisfaction. He continues that, “Our customers get excellent service. Customers can place orders at
shoprite.com to either pick up their order or have it delivered” and reflects that “Our customers have different needs...but we do our best to ensure they all leave happy.” Community service is a big part of the work, he says. “I love the fact that ShopRite supports the community so much with
the Partners In Caring Program that donates to local food shelters. Each year we also take collections for Tommy Toys and Toys For Tots so that all kids can have a Christmas regardless of their situations.”
