Description of the Position:

This Gift Shop Staff's primary duty is to provide excellent customer service in the gift shop and to maintain a pleasant atmosphere for our customers while they shop. Duties include but are not limited to greeting customers, assisting them with any questions, suggesting merchandise, making coffee and espresso drinks, operating the cash register, accurate cash handling, cleaning, stocking, processing freight, opening and closing duties as they are assigned. Gift Shop employees may also be asked to work outside in merchandise tents, complete physical inventory, and set up merchandise presentations in the store. Gift Shop employees will be trained on all McMenamin products including wine, liquor, beer and coffee and should be able to make recommendations and suggestions to customers shopping with us.
