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.
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.

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

Understand and follow verbal or demonstrated directions and communicate supply needs orally or in writing
Work effectively as part of a team to deliver a great customer experience
Accountable and Reports to: Store Director; Store Manager; Assistant Managers of HWH, Perishables, and Store Operations; Service Managers
No education or experience requirements; we will provide all the training you need to succeed
Frequently stand and walk throughout a shift in sales, food service, or delivery areas

Where applicable to the role: exposure to heat- and burn-related hazards associated with cooking, baking, or grilling equipment
Where applicable to the role: ability to operate a delivery vehicle in accordance with applicable DOT standards
