We are looking for a dedicated and detail-oriented Fruit and Vegetable Department Worker to join our grocery store team. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring that the produce section is well-stocked, clean, and visually appealing to customers. You will play a key role in maintaining the freshness and quality of fruits and vegetables, assisting customers with their selections, and supporting the overall operations of the department.
As a Fruit and Vegetable Department Worker, your primary duties will include receiving and inspecting produce deliveries, rotating stock to maintain freshness, and disposing of spoiled or damaged items.
