Volunteer-work at a local community shop

It is very common for rural British villages to have their own community shop, they sell local goods as well as day-to-day products. Some community shops in Britain are run by volunteers from the local area, such as the one where I work! Volunteers do jobs such as stocking up, pricing, customer-service etc. Lots of British community shops also have a small "tea-room" where they sell hot drinks: coffee, tea, and cakes. My favourite thing about volunteering at my community shop is being with customers - I love having a chat and making coffee for them! I also create all the chalkboard signage for my shop.
