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 Checkers are often the last face a customer sees before leaving the store, which makes this role one of the most important ones we have. In this position, you'll operate the register, assist customers throughout the store, and help make sure every visit ends on a great note.

If you enjoy working with people, take pride in doing things right, and want to be part of a team that truly cares about customers, we'd love to have you join us.

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

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

Stock, face, and rotate merchandise, clean shelves, understand shelf tags, and take customers to items when requested

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

Follow detailed written or verbal instructions and work through tasks with a few concrete variables

Perform arithmetic calculations involving fractions, decimals, and percentages

Education and Experience

Where applicable to the role: ability to operate a delivery vehicle in accordance with applicable DOT standards

Working Environment
