Shelf Stacker
Also known as: Shelf Stacker · Stock Replenisher
Restocks shelves with new inventory, checks best-before dates and ensures products are laid out clearly and according to the planogram.
The shelf stacker often works outside opening hours and ensures the shop is fully stocked and orderly for customers at the start of the day. Unlike a retail sales assistant, they have almost no customer contact and the emphasis lies entirely on speed, sequence and the physical demands of the work. Selection in practice tests physical suitability, while accurately following a planogram under time pressure goes wrong just as often.
