The appearance and smell of the meat department significantly influence customers' perceptions of the entire store.

This position is responsible for creating an attractive presentation of a wide variety of products, including steaks, chops, roasts, chicken, and others. Each product must be fresh, visually appealing, odorless, and properly packaged with the correct firmness. The meat clerk must engage with customers to encourage additional sales and be responsive to their requests. Skills include using a slicing machine for lunchmeat and a small grinder for meats.

Handling meat properly is crucial due to its perishability and the impact of job performance on the store's reputation. The meat cutter can significantly influence customer experience through their work. We treat each customer with courtesy, friendliness, and respect, as if they were guests in our home.
