✅ A quick learner—you pick up new tasks fast and aren’t afraid to ask questions.
✅ A stickler for details—you notice the little things and take pride in doing things right.
✅ A team player—you bring a positive, can-do attitude every single day.
✅ A true people person—you LOVE meaningful, intentional interactions with customers and teammates.
✅ Physically capable—you can lift 50 lbs repeatedly and stand for extended periods.
