Summary
Job involving displaying products, replenishing stock, and managing inventory on the sales floor of a food supermarket.
Description
Shelf stockers display delivered products on shelves in the sales floor of food supermarkets and replenish appropriate quantities to prevent leftovers or shortages. They check expiration dates, replace labels, perform front-facing (rotation) of products to keep the sales floor clean, input data into inventory management systems, and assist with ordering. During busy periods, they handle receiving and inspection in the backroom, and create POP displays and maintain display layouts to make the sales floor appealing to customers.

Demand remains steady due to labor shortages from declining birthrates and aging population. As AI and robot automated shelving technologies advance, skills in customer service and advanced inventory management will be required.
