Grocery Team Member (Stocker, Inventory, Floor Service, Customer Service) - Part Time
for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Note: The purpose of this document..." etc? That's likely boilerplate. Also remove "Whole Foods Market offers 'Whole Benefits'..." but we need to keep benefits info. However we need to keep benefits details: store discount, paid time off, financial wellness, health & wellness support programs, access to other perks. Also mention eligibility details? Might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive about benefits. We'll keep.
Pay: wage range $15.00-$24.40 Hourly, commensurate with experience. Since "commensurate with experience" is placeholder? It says "commensurate with experience". The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state wage range, but includes "commensurate with experience". That phrase is filler? It's part of the range description. Should we include Pay section? The posting states wage range, so we can include Pay section with that info. However we must avoid filler text like "commensurate with experience". Could we rephrase? We must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact phrase? The rule says do NOT emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It seems they want us not to create a Pay section if the only content is filler like "commensurate with experience". But we have actual numbers. So we can include Pay section with the wage range, maybe we can keep the phrase as part of the description? The phrase is part of the range description; it's not filler alone. Might be okay.
Schedule: The posting mentions ability to work a flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: we have Whole Benefits description. Include Benefits section.
Responsibilities: we have many duties. We'll list as - .
Skills: list.
Requirements: maybe "Experience: No prior retail experience required." Also physical requirements. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll create Requirements section with experience and physical requirements.
Qualifications maybe not needed separate; but we can combine.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract substantive content.
Let's parse the posting:
First paragraph: "Provides support as a member of the Grocery team to include receiving and preparing product, maintaining the grocery floor and displays, and selling product in support of WFM standards. Performs all functions related to breaking down deliveries and stocking shelves. All Whole Foods Market Retail jobs require ensuring a positive company image by providing courteous, friendly, and efficient service to customers and Team Members at all times. All positions must be performed in accordance with team and store Standard Operating Procedures. Further, Team Members must be prepared and able to perform the duties inherent in other Team Member job descriptions. All positions must strive to support WFM core values and goals, promote national, regional, and store programs and initiatives, and ensure adherence to all applicable health and safety regulations including Food Safety and regulatory duties required in the department."
That's about role/responsibilities.
Then "Job Responsibilities" heading with bullet list (but not actual bullet). We'll extract each sentence as duty.

Then: "Whole Foods Market offers "Whole Benefits". Whole Benefits offers a wide range of benefits for Full and Part-Time Team Members, including eligibility for a store discount, paid time off, financial wellness, health & wellness support programs, and access to other Team Member perks.

Then: "New entry level Team Members who successfully complete their first 90-days of employment and who remain actively employed in an eligible role, may be eligible for a base rate increase after their 90-day anniversary."
Then EEO boilerplate etc - drop.
Then: "Whole Foods Market works with job sites like Indeed, LinkedIn, and ZipRecruiter to promote opportunities at our company. Please be aware that other career sites may not be accurate or up to date and may even be fraudulent. We encourage and recommend all candidates to apply via our site." That's application instructions - drop.
Thus we have sections: About the role (maybe we can combine first paragraph as About the role), Responsibilities, Skills, Requirements (Experience + Physical Requirements), Pay, Benefits, Schedule (flexible schedule). Also maybe Qualifications? Not needed.
We need to avoid creating sections with filler. For Pay we have wage range; we can include that. For Schedule we have flexible schedule info. For Benefits we have details.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft:
