New Store - Produce Team Member (Clerk, Floor Service) - Full Time - San Diego, California - Opening Late Summer 2026
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the job posting.
The posting includes:
- Intro paragraph: "Provides support as a member of the Produce team to include receiving and preparing product, maintaining the Produce 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 could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? Actually it's more like a description of the role. Could be "About the role". Then there is a "Job Responsibilities" heading in the posting with a list of responsibilities. Then "Job Skills" heading with list of skills. Then "Experience" heading: "No prior retail experience required." Then "Physical Requirements/Working Conditions". Then note about document purpose etc (boilerplate). Then "The wage range for this position is $18.00-$25.40 Hourly, commensurate with experience." Then "Whole Foods Market offers 'Whole Benefits'..." then details about benefits. Then "New entry level Team Members who successfully complete their first 90-days..." then EEO boilerplate etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove note about purpose of document, etc. Also remove the EEO paragraph at end. Also remove the lines about job sites etc. Also remove the "Click here for benefit details." maybe considered application instruction? It's a link; we should remove application instructions. Probably remove that sentence.
We need to preserve substantive information.
We need sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Skills (list). Requirements? There's Experience (no prior retail experience required) maybe goes under Requirements or Qualifications. Physical Requirements/Working Conditions could be under Requirements or a separate section like "Physical Requirements". The instructions say use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list from Job Responsibilities.
- Skills: list from Job Skills.
- Requirements: could include Experience (No prior retail experience required) and Physical Requirements/Working Conditions.
- Qualifications: maybe not separate; we could combine with Requirements. But we need to avoid empty sections. If we have both Requirements and Qualifications, we need content for each. The posting doesn't have explicit qualifications beyond experience and physical. Could treat Requirements as encompassing experience and physical. Qualifications maybe not needed. But we could put "Qualifications" heading with same content? Better to only include sections with real content. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Requirements (including Experience and Physical Requirements), Benefits, Pay. Schedule? The posting mentions ability to work flexible schedule including nights, weekends, holidays as needed. That's schedule info. So we could include a Schedule section.
Pay: wage range $18.00-$25.40 Hourly, commensurate with experience. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state wage range, so we can include Pay. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" which is placeholder? The instruction says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we cannot have a Pay section that only says "$18.00-$25.40 Hourly, commensurate with experience." That includes "commensurate with experience" which is considered filler. But we could maybe just give the range and omit the phrase? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we remove "commensurate with experience", we are summarizing away detail? It's considered filler but maybe we can keep the range and drop the phrase? The phrase is considered filler; we should not include filler text. So we could output just "$18.00-$25.40 Hourly". That preserves the substantive info (the range) and removes filler. Is that allowed? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Removing "commensurate with experience" is summarizing away detail? It's considered filler, not substantive. So likely okay.
Benefits: The posting describes Whole Benefits: store discount, paid time off, financial wellness, health & wellness support programs, access to other Team Member perks. Also eligibility details etc. We need to preserve substantive info but remove boilerplate like eligibility details maybe? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The eligibility details might be considered boilerplate? It's not exactly legal but could be considered benefits eligibility details. Might be okay to keep a summary: "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." That's substantive. We can keep that.
Schedule: The posting says "Ability to work a flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed." That's schedule info. We can put that under Schedule section.
Now we need to format using for section headings, - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which content is list vs prose.
- About the role: prose paragraph(s). Could be one
.
- Responsibilities: list of duties. We'll make
- each responsibility.
- Skills: list of skills.
- Requirements: could include Experience (no prior retail experience required) and Physical Requirements/Working Conditions. Could be a mix: maybe we make a
for requirements: one item "No prior retail experience required." and another item with physical requirements details. But physical requirements is a longer description; could be a under Requirements? The instruction says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we have multiple requirements, we should list them. Physical requirements could be one item containing the description. That's okay.
- Benefits: list of benefits: store discount, paid time off, financial wellness, health & wellness support programs, access to other Team Member perks. Could be
.
- Pay: just a with the wage range.
- Schedule:
with flexible schedule statement.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must not include any boilerplate like EEO, note about purpose, etc.
We must not include application instructions like "Click here for benefit details." or "Please be aware that other career sites may not be accurate..." etc.
Now let's extract the exact responsibilities list from the posting:
"Job Responsibilities Ensures a fresh and appealing display by keeping cases and shelves clean and well stocked by front-facing, checking codes, rotating and removing out-of-date products. Assists Team Leader in organizing and displaying volume and seasonal items. Monitors and prevents spoilage and communicates waste to buyers, Team Leaders, and shift supervisor. Completes spoilage, sampling, temperature, and sweep worksheets as required. Assists with periodic inventory checks. Arrives to work station on time, appropriately groomed, dressed and ready to work; works all scheduled shifts and attends required trainings and meetings. Provides excellent customer service, addresses needs of customers in a timely and effective manner and models suggestive selling techniques; answers phones and pages promptly and courteously.

Performs opening, mid, and closing duties as assigned; ensures accuracy of signs and pricing. Immediately reports safety hazards and violations. Performs other duties as assigned by store, regional, or national leadership."
We need to split into separate list items. Each sentence seems a duty. We'll make each sentence a
- . Ensure we keep all details.
Now Skills list:
"Job Skills Ability to sell proactively. Ability to learn basic knowledge of all products carried in department. Ability to learn and understand growing processes that differentiate conventional from organic produce. Strong attention to detail. Strong to excellent communication skills and willingness to work as part of a team. Ability to deliver information in a clear and respectable manner to fellow Team Members, customers, and vendors. Ability to meet customer service expectations and standards in all interactions with customers, vendors, and Team Members.

Strong work ethic and ability to work in a fast-paced environment with a sense of urgency. Understanding of and compliance with WFM quality goals."
Make each sentence a
- .
Experience: "No prior retail experience required."
Physical Requirements/Working Conditions: The paragraph:
"Physical Requirements/Working Conditions Must be able to lift 50 pounds. In an 8-hour work day: standing/walking 6-8 hours. Hand use: single grasping, fine manipulation, pushing and pulling. Work requires the following motions: bending, twisting, squatting and reaching. Exposure to FDA approved cleaning chemicals. Exposure to temperatures: 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Ability to work in wet and dry conditions. Ability to work a flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed. Ability to use tools and equipment, including knives, box cutters, electric pallet jacks, and other heavy machinery. May require use of ladders."
Note that flexible schedule also appears here; but we already have schedule section. Might duplicate. We'll keep schedule info in schedule section; but we could also keep it under physical requirements. To avoid duplication, we could keep schedule info only under Schedule section, and remove from physical requirements. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot remove it. But we could keep it in both places? That would be duplication. Better to keep it under Schedule section and maybe not repeat under Physical Requirements. But then we lose that detail from Physical Requirements. However the physical requirements paragraph includes that sentence; we could keep it there as part of physical requirements, and also have schedule section maybe redundant. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine schedule info into Physical Requirements/Working Conditions section, and not have separate Schedule section. But the instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. It doesn't forbid having both sections if they have content. However duplication might be considered redundant but not prohibited. However we might want to avoid duplication to keep concise. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we merge schedule info into Physical Requirements/Working Conditions and not have a separate Schedule section. But then we lose a dedicated Schedule heading; but that's okay as long as we have the info somewhere.
But the instruction also says use headings for section headings (e
