One of the first jobs I held was as an Online Pickup Clerk at my local grocery store. I held this position from May 2020 to May 2021, from peak COVID when online pickup wasn't as common until I left that grocery store for alternative employment. As a de-facto head of the department (before we had an official manager) I was responsible for overseeing that all orders were picked to the customer's specifications, training new employees in that department, and personally signing off on all closing papers and official department documents.
