Baggers are attentive and precise, even in fast-paced environments where they switch tasks frequently to fulfill customer requests. They’re comfortable with talking to people and being on their feet for long periods of time.

While baggers are primarily responsible for the cleanliness of the check stands assigned to them, they still participate in the cleaning and maintenance of the entire store. This may involve wiping spills, sweeping the floor, removing litter, or mopping restrooms.

This is a physically demanding job, since baggers spend much of their time either standing or walking, and they often carry heavy loads.

Basic job functions include (but are not limited to):

Pack Groceries: The main responsibility of baggers is packing groceries purchased by customers into bags. They must arrange groceries strategically to avoid damage or breakage while remaining fast and efficient, checking for leftover items in the customer’s basket or cart, and replenishing bags as soon as supply runs low.

Assist Customers: Compared to other grocery store staff, baggers and cashiers interact the most with customers, and it’s their job to provide prompt, courteous service, from basic greetings to helping locate certain items within the store.

Load and Return Carts: Upon customer request or when purchases are difficult to carry, baggers load grocery items into a cart that they take to the customer’s vehicle, and then bring the cart back to the appropriate area. In general, they must look out for unused carts and baskets that are misplaced and return these.

Retrieve Items: When customers discard items at the checkout area, baggers must return them to the correct shelves. They also work with the cashier to obtain product replacements, such as for items with wrong barcodes.

• Customer service – baggers are committed to creating an excellent store experience for customers. They pack purchases with care and readily offer assistance, maintaining a friendly, polite attitude in all situations
• Organization skills – when arranging grocery items inside bags, those in this role must be systematic, putting the heaviest items first at the bottom and ensuring that everything is neatly stacked so customers will find the bags easy to carry
• Memorization – baggers should be extremely familiar with both the store’s layout and products, not only for customer inquiries but also for efficient finding and returning of items
• Teamwork – baggers almost always work alongside cashiers, and both of them must synchronize their tasks well if they are to process a customer’s purchases smoothly. Speed is also essential, since they must be able to handle the demand from lengthy grocery queues
• Stamina – this job requires standing for an entire shift, which may span several hours. Another physically strenuous aspect is carrying heavy bags or pushing carts for customers

These positions are part-time; approximately 18-24 hours per week
