Just as the title asks, where do you work? And what do you do there? Be it full time, part time, seasonally, etc.
I work at Super Target.
(Super Target is differentiated from normal Target in the sense that we do groceries as well as all other product.)

This isn't the one I work at, but it looks similar to this one.
I'm part of what's called the Flow Team.
We get there in the wee hours of the morning to unload the truck. Nothing comes on pallets, so we have a conveyor belt that goes into the truck and the product is offloaded and sent down to us. We separate everything into groups and then take them out to the floor.
Then we "bowl" (have no idea why it's called that) the product into their specific aisles. After this is done we take a break and then "push" the items, which means to stock the shelves. After this is done, we take a lunch and then we work on "pulls" which is back stock that can be used to fill the shelves of product that wasn't ordered.
We work the entire store by ourselves, except for meat, frozen, dairy and produce. Though most of the time we end up doing frozen foods too. It's hard work, but it's actually pretty enjoyable.
Worked there for two years, I'm still part-time but I basically know how to do everything to run the store. Unless our district manager pitches a fit (which I don't think he will - he's not even going to be our boss for much longer) I'm going to shortly become third key, which is basically assistant manager without the title.
Which will be great for the sheer fact that I can tell other people to deal with customers, as I'd really rather deal with inventory stuff and that sort of thing

That's what I get for being a high school drop out.
