We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove generic filler like "commensurate with experience" maybe? Actually instruction: 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 posting actually states them. So we need to see if Pay is stated: "The wage range for this position is $21.55-$35.00 Hourly, commensurate with experience." That includes "commensurate with experience" which is filler? The phrase includes actual wage range, but also "commensurate with experience". The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", ...). Does that mean we should not include Pay section if the only content is that phrase? But we have actual numbers. The phrase "commensurate with experience" is filler but we still have wage range. We could include Pay section with the wage range, maybe we can omit the filler phrase. The instruction: 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. It doesn't say we must exclude the filler phrase entirely; just that we shouldn't have a heading with only filler. Since we have actual wage range, we can include Pay section with that range, maybe we can phrase as "$21.55-$35.00 Hourly". We could drop the "commensurate with experience" part.
Benefits: posting says "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. 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). Click here for benefit details." That's substantive. So Benefits section should be included.
Schedule: 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 with that.
Now we need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what content goes where. The posting includes a paragraph at start: "Assists the Team Leader in all aspects of daily operations including profitability, expense control, buying, merchandising, labor, regulatory compliance and special projects as assigned. Leads and develops Team Members. 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 seems like About the role / general description.
Then "Job Responsibilities:" followed by a list of responsibilities (some repeated). Then later "Job Responsibilities:" again with a list of skills/qualities? Actually second "Job Responsibilities:" seems to be mislabeled; it's actually "High energy, enthusiastic, and displays an affinity for our products, core values, and company philosophy. Proficient mathematical skills..." That's more like Requirements/Skills/Qualifications.
Then "Physical Requirements / Working Conditions" list.
Then note about document purpose etc (boilerplate). Then wage range and benefits.
We need to extract substantive info and avoid duplication.
Let's parse:

Then note about document purpose (boilerplate) - remove.
Then wage range: "The wage range for this position is $21.55-$35.00 Hourly, commensurate with experience."
Then benefits description.
Then EEO etc (remove).
Now we need to map to sections.
About the role: initial paragraph(s) before Job Responsibilities.
Responsibilities: first list.
Requirements: maybe the experience requirement (18+ months retail Team Member experience and 6+ months supervisory experience) plus physical requirements? Usually Requirements could include experience and physical. Qualifications could be skills/knowledge. Skills could be specific abilities.
But we have many sections; we need to avoid thin sections. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine.
We have to use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. We can decide to include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (experience), Qualifications (skills/knowledge), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Physical Requirements could be part of Requirements.
But we need to avoid duplication: mathematical skills duplicate.
Let's craft sections:
