Hi and welcome to the community Feel free to join in or ask any questions 

Tori_Scope

Welcome to the community @TeresaLV2 It's great to have you with us! 

I'm a level 2 lead volunteer (previously called key volunteers)

This isn't something I'm too familiar with. Would you like to tell us a little more about the volunteering you do? It sounds interesting.

Please give us a shout if you need anything, or have any questions about finding your way around the community. We'd be happy to help!

I have, on occasion, had to open the shop if manager or assistant managers are going to be absent or delayed. I have done all the paperwork regarding lead volunteers. I can do more than 1 of the assistant managers (he's fairly new as is shop manager but he's been trained). I love holding the fort but I can't tackle shop lifters.

Hello @TeresaLV2

Welcome to Scope's forum. It is great to see you have joined us. Thanks especially for introducing yourself to us. How are you today? Would you like to tell us more about your motivations for joining Scope's forum and your interests? It would be great to get to know you 

Tori_Scope

It sounds like you've taken on quite a high level of responsibility @TeresaLV2, which is great to hear  

I love holding the fort but I can't tackle shop lifters.

I'd hope that you wouldn't be expected to deal too much with shoplifters yourself. Is there a procedure in place that you can follow, including calling the police where necessary?

Fortunately we have never called police. We have barred 2 people that have stolen from us in the past. But we are very vigilant when certain groups of people walk in. Students are the worst.

I never even heard of this page until 2 weeks ago. New shop manager and assistant manager told us. Me, I am 55, moderately disabled due to generalized osteoarthritis, polyarthralgia, migraine sufferer, atypical trigeminal neuralgia (tn2), asthmatic. Got right hemidiaphragm paralysis so get short of breath occasionally. I am a divorced mum of 3 grown up kids and 2 grandchildren who I don't see. Love my only cat Charlie. Moved back in with mum recently.  Hope that's everything about me. T
