This role prepares assigned checkout and customer areas, completes opening checks, operates checkout accurately, stocks and faces priority zones, and helps the team enter lunch service ready. What This Job Is Really Like Opening shifts begin early enough to prepare the Market for service and carry through the morning or lunch peak. Part-time schedules are typically 4-6 hours per day, 3-5 days per week. Full-time schedules are typically 8 hours per day, 5 days per week, up to 40 hours per week. Reliable early-day availability is required; exact start times follow the posted schedule. Lunch is one of our highest-demand times. Grocery checkout lines and Grill orders can rise together. You will accurately ring up student meal plans and other tenders, stay professional during long lines, and move with urgency without sacrificing cash control or service. Scotty's is improving POS, inventory, pricing, availability, ordering, and core operating processes while serving customers every day. This can be frustrating. The right person learns patiently, offers constructive suggestions, adapts to changes, and remains engaged even when a suggestion is not adopted. This role includes more than checkout.
