New Store - Flex Shopper - Full Time - Fairfax, CA – Opening Fall 2026
Whole Foods Market · Los Angeles, CA · 1 mo ago
Sales$18.5–$25.4/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description: "Support exceptional customer experiences by preparing customer orders for delivery and pickup..." That's about role. Then responsibilities list. Then skills & requirements list. Then qualifications list. Then physical requirements maybe part of qualifications? Could be separate "Physical Requirements / Working Conditions". Also pay: "The wage range for this position is $18.50-$25.40 Hourly, commensurate with experience." Since it includes "commensurate with experience" which is placeholder? 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. Here they state wage range but also "commensurate with experience". The phrase "commensurate with experience" is filler? It's describing that wage depends on experience, but they gave a range. The rule says do NOT emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. If we include Pay section, we must ensure content is not just filler. The wage range is specific: $18.50-$25.40 Hourly. That's substantive. The "commensurate with experience" is additional but not filler alone. I think we can include Pay section with that sentence.
Schedule: they mention schedule flexibility, shift length, issued 14 days in advance, average shift length 4-8 hours, need weekends etc. That's substantive. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: they mention Whole Benefits, store discount, PTO, etc. That's substantive. So include Benefits section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections that have real specific content. Likely we will have About the role (the introductory paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Skills & Requirements (maybe combine Skills and Requirements?), Qualifications (list), Physical Requirements maybe as part of Qualifications or separate? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Skills & Requirements (they list skills), Qualifications (they list qualifications), Physical Requirements (maybe under Requirements?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We should not create thin sections. Let's decide:
- About the role: paragraph(s) describing role.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Skills & Requirements: list of skills.
- Qualifications: list of qualifications (education, age, language).
- Physical Requirements / Working Conditions: maybe as part of Qualifications? Could be separate "Requirements" heading? But we have "Requirements" as a possible heading. Could use "Requirements" for physical requirements. However we already have Skills & Requirements heading; maybe better to split: Skills and Requirements separate? The instruction list includes both Skills and Requirements as separate possible headings. We could do Skills and Requirements separate. But we have skills list and also requirements list (flexible availability, etc). The posting has "Job Skills & Requirements" heading that includes both skills and requirements. Could split into Skills and Requirements sections.
Let's extract:
Skills list:
- Strong customer service, hospitality and problem-solving skills
- Detail-oriented with multi-tasking capabilities
- Flexible availability including nights, weekends, and holidays
- Adaptability to work in high demand / peak hours
- Willingness and ability to cross-train to support other teams and tasks
- Adaptability to learn new technology-driven solutions
- Thrive in a fast-paced retail environment
- Clear communication and team collaboration skills
Requirements list (maybe from same block):
Actually the "Job Skills & Requirements" includes both. But we can treat all as skills? However there is also "Qualifications" separate: No prior retail experience required, High school diploma or equivalent preferred, Sufficient English language proficiency, Must be 18+ years old.
Physical Requirements: list.
Thus we can have:
- About the role (intro paragraphs)
- Responsibilities (list)
- Skills (list)
- Qualifications (list)
- Physical Requirements (list) maybe under heading "Requirements"? But we have "Requirements" heading possible. Use "Requirements" for physical requirements? However we already used "Qualifications" for education/age. Could use "Requirements" for physical requirements and availability? But availability already in skills. Might be confusing.
Better to follow the instruction: Use headings as given, but we can omit those without content. Let's map:
About the role: yes.
Responsibilities: yes.
Requirements: could be the schedule flexibility etc? But we have Schedule section separate. Hmm.
Qualifications: yes.
Skills: yes.
Benefits: yes.
Pay: yes.
Schedule: yes.
Thus we will have all eight sections.
Now we need to fill each with appropriate content, avoiding filler.
Let's craft:
About the role: combine the first two paragraphs: "Support exceptional customer experiences by preparing customer orders for delivery and pickup. Shoppers prepare orders for everyday goods including produce, meat, dairy, household items, prepared foods, specialty cheeses, wine, and beer." plus maybe the later description about working on Customer Service & E-Commerce teams. We'll keep concise but preserve all substantive info. Avoid repeating.
Responsibilities: list each duty from "Job Responsibilities". We'll extract each sentence starting with verb.
List:
- Fulfills online orders efficiently, accurately and with a sense of urgency using handheld technology and/or fixed devices
- Ensure product and order accuracy through meticulous verification and quality control processes
- Learn and apply product knowledge, customer service standards, and store operations to deliver exceptional customer experiences
- Keep staging area organized and free of clutter
- Handle in-store and online order returns and pickups
- Comply with government regulations such as age verification requirements for restricted items
- Assist with customer inquiries and provide store information
- Maintain knowledge of product and promotional events

- Communicate clearly, collaboratively and courteously
- Attend all meetings assigned by Leadership, including daily huddles
- Support company program and initiatives, inclusive of varied checkout options, store formats and all product assortment, tools, and technology

- Ensure adherence to all company policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements
- Performs other duties as assigned by store or company leadership
Skills: list from "Job Skills & Requirements". We'll separate skills (maybe first few) but we can include all as skills. However we already used some for requirements? Let's just put all bullet points under Skills.
But we also have Qualifications separate.
Thus Skills list:
- Strong customer service, hospitality and problem-solving skills
- Detail-oriented with multi-tasking capabilities
- Flexible availability including nights, weekends, and holidays
- Adaptability to work in high demand / peak hours
- Willingness and ability to cross-train to support other teams and tasks
- Adaptability to learn new technology-driven solutions
- Thrive in a fast-paced retail environment
- Clear communication and team collaboration skills
Qualifications list:
- No prior retail experience required
- High school diploma or equivalent preferred
- Sufficient English language proficiency to prepare and shop customer orders
- Must be 18+ years old
Physical Requirements maybe under Requirements heading? But we have not used Requirements heading yet. Let's use Requirements for physical requirements and working conditions.
Requirements list:
- Stand/walk for 4-8 hours per shift
- Lift up to 50 pounds
- Work in various temperature environments (freezer to 90°F)
- Perform tasks in outdoor and indoor environments

Benefits list:

- Eligibility for Whole Benefits is determined under the terms of the applicable Whole Benefits plan at a person’s date of hire and may vary based on work location, length of service, and job type (such as regular or seasonal).
- 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.
Pay:
- The wage range for this position is $18.50-$25.40 Hourly, commensurate with experience.
Schedule:
- This role requires schedule flexibility to work peak hours including weekends (Saturdays and Sundays), early mornings, midday, and evenings, holidays and peak holiday seasons (November through January).
- Schedules are issued 14 days in advance, and the average shift length is 4-8 hours.
- Having a flexible schedule is key to meeting our customers’ needs. We especially need Team Members who can work on Saturday and Sunday – our busiest times of the week! Shoppers with the ability to work nights, weekends, and holidays are preferred.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" inside Pay? It's part of the sentence but not filler alone. It's okay.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, scam warning, application instructions, etc. We removed those.
