Group worker goes independent at meat counter
Teddy Taft's work foundation came from job experience with ProAct groups at businesses, but he's thriving even more in an independent position at Cub Foods.
"I'm helping more people," said Taft, who takes orders at the meat  counter in Eagan's Town Centre store. Fielding questions about meat preparation and availability, Taft weighs out amounts, wraps and labels salmon, tilapia, beef, chicken and more.
Store Director Nick Weins said Taft will soon be trained in more areas to increase his versatility. Taft found the job, which pays much more than minimum wage, on his own.
He is visited regularly by ProAct Designated Coordinator Matt Briggs. "He has a real job, with real responsibilities and is doing fine," he said.
Coworkers here have a sense of humor, and are helpful, Taft explains.
