Meat Counter Clerk

Description:
Our meat department combines an old-school friendly neighborhood butcher feel with a focus on humanely raised, grass fed and pasture raised meats and sustainably sourced seafood.

While this is not a meat cutting position, often times our entry level, customer service focused meat clerks will learn some meat cutting skills over time from our trained meat cutters. These skills are in demand and can lead to well paying careers in the meat cutting trade. With that in mind, meat clerks 18+ may be considered for an eventual advancement opportunity to become a meat cutter apprentice.
