About Hy-Vee

At Hy-Vee, we believe the shortest distance between two people is a smile. We're seeking people with a passion for customer service, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to being part of a team that strives to make our customers' lives easier, healthier and happier.

The Role and Why It's Important

Our Checker/Stockers keep the store running on two fronts at once, serving customers at the register and making sure shelves are stocked and ready for the next shopper. In this role, you'll handle everything from processing transactions and bagging groceries to unloading product and rotating merchandise. If you enjoy staying active, take pride in a well-stocked store, and love helping customers, we'd love to have you on our team.

No two shifts are exactly the same, but here's what you can expect:

Provide prompt, friendly customer service by greeting customers with a smile, learning their names, and going out of your way to make every visit a great one

Operate the cash register accurately, scanning product and processing all payment @types including cash, checks, credit cards, coupons, food stamps, WIC checks, rain checks, in-store charges, and lottery transactions

Count back change, issue receipts, and provide cash refunds or credit memorandums for returned merchandise as needed

Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal guidelines regarding WIC, food stamps, and the sale of tobacco, liquor, and lottery tickets

Stay knowledgeable of item look-up numbers, department numbers, item features, and weekly ad price changes and sale items

Keep the register area clean, ensure adequate supplies are available, and report improper cash levels in the cash drawer

Verify register balances at the beginning and end of each shift where applicable

Communicate clearly on the intercom or telephone and answer customer questions, following up with appropriate personnel as needed

Stay aware of your surroundings to support store safety and security

Assist store management with displays and decorations for special promotions and events as needed

Assist in other areas of the store as needed and take on special projects as assigned

Maintain strict adherence to personal hygiene, dress standards, and all Hy-Vee policies and store guidelines

Report to work when scheduled and on time
