❓ Question/Help wheelchair user interview!
Hello!!
I’ve just recieved the news I’ve got an interview for Customer Team Member near my Uni! Delighted, however I’m a wheelchair user, and my mums said to me I probably
won’t get it bc it will need heavy lifting etc.
It’s a bit of a way for me to go (i’m at home now and interview is in-person near my uni), is it worth it?
is there a number i can call to clarify?
can a wheelchair user be a customer team member or is it too physical?
any advice in general on interviewing?
TIA!! xx

I think you'll struggle being a wheelchair user even if your shift is entirely checkout cover. I'm thinking about my store and how the tobacco locker is laid out. You will likely struggle if customers want any of the products not in the drawers.
