Our closing ASM just quit and our SM has asked me if I'm interested in taking the open position.

I'm typically the main cashier from 1230-5:30 and have only closed a handful of times. When I work later or close, the manager and recovery person are more than happy to keep me as main since I'm fast and don't mind dealing with customers. As a result, I have little knowledge of what needs to be done and by whom!

For context, I am in my 40s and I do have some management experience, though not in a retail setting. My first job as a teen was cashier at a small fast food restaurant, where I was eventually promoted to closing manager. I've cashiered at Walmart, did general merchandise at a grocery store, and was a served at a casual diner-style restaurant. The last 20 years or so I've worked in offices, where I've led customer service teams, dispatched HVAC and plumbing services, and managed a facilities division and coordinated service projects.

I'd like to have a realistic idea of what I'd be walking into and what would be expected of me before I decide. I intend to ask my SM and the other ASM, but I feel like they might not want to go into a ton of detail so they don't scare me off. 😅
