Our shelves are known for being full, fresh, and well organized, with a strong commitment to local and organic producers. We’re looking for a hardworking, detail-oriented Grocery Stocker to join our team and help keep our store well-stocked, clean, and ready for customers, both on the sales floor and at the register.

Position Overview

As a Grocery Stocker, you’ll make sure customers can always find what they need on shelves that are full, neat, and accurately priced. You’ll unload and check in deliveries, stock and rotate product, face shelves, and keep the backroom and aisles organized and safe. You’ll also work the cash registers, providing friendly, accurate checkout service. This hands-on role is ideal for someone who enjoys physical work, takes pride in the details, and wants to be part of a team that delivers a great shopping experience.

Responsibilities

• Unload deliveries and check them for accuracy and damage.

• Stock shelves and rotate product, checking dates and placing older items forward.

• Face and straighten product so it’s forward, labels out, and not overstocked.

• Remove damaged or expired items.

• Ensure accurate pricing, shelf tags, and signage.

• Monitor stock levels and report low or out-of-stock items to your manager.

• Operate the cash register: scan items, process cash, card, and other payments accurately, and bag groceries with care.

• Handle cash responsibly and keep your cash drawer accurate.

• Follow store procedures for coupons, price checks, voids, and returns.

• Follow all food safety and sanitation standards, including moving refrigerated and frozen items promptly.

• Break down boxes, manage recycling, and keep aisles and work areas clean and clear.

• Safely operate equipment such as case cutters, carts, and hand trucks.

• Provide friendly, helpful customer service at the register and on the sales floor by greeting guests, walking them to products, and answering basic questions.

• Complete daily and weekly cleaning duties as assigned.

• Perform other tasks as needed to support overall store operations.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand, walk, and move continuously throughout the shift, including extended periods standing at a register.

• Lift and carry up to 50 lbs. frequently.

• Frequent bending, reaching, and use of hands and fingers for handling product.

• Comfortable working in refrigerated and frozen environments.

• Ability to communicate clearly in English with customers and team members.

Time is split between stocking and checkout duties based on store needs. All staff are expected to maintain regular and punctual attendance, adhere to assigned schedules, and communicate promptly about any requested schedule changes.

Preferred Qualifications

• 18 years of age or older.

• Previous grocery, stocking, or cash-handling experience preferred but not required.

• Comfortable learning a point-of-sale system and handling cash accurately.

• Interest in natural and organic foods.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to work efficiently.

• Positive attitude and willingness to learn.
