In 1936, a 20-year-old named Farris Lind opened a service station in Twin Falls and started selling gasoline for less than the major oil companies thought he should. They didn't take it well. When one of them told a newspaper that Farris Lind was a real stinker, he took it as a compliment, put the word on his stations, and drew a skunk wearing red boxing gloves—Polecat Pete.The gloves came first, and they were never a joke. Farris spent his career punching above his weight on behalf of the Guest, and a small Idaho company that refused to be pushed around had to be willing to fight for what it believed in. Ninety years later, that spirit is still part of who we are. We fight for our employees. We fight for our Guests.Our purpose is simple:To make our world a better place by being a bright spot in the lives we touch, one employee, one guest, and one community at a time.We still know how to have fun; our mascot is a skunk, after all. But take a close look at Pete: he's got his gloves on.QualificationsMust be at least 19 years of ageHigh school diploma or GED preferredPrevious food service, restaurant, convenience store, or retail experience preferred, but not requiredAbility to complete Stinker's required Food Safety training within the first 90 days of employmentLearn recipes, food preparation procedures, food safety requirements, and store processesWork a flexible schedule, including days, evenings, weekends, and holidays based on business needsStand and move for extended periods throughout a shiftSafely use a step stool or step ladderLift and carry up to 50 poundsPerform work from floor level to approximately eye levelWork in refrigerated areas averaging approximately 32°FPerform the essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodationReady to Join Us?If you enjoy preparing great food, working with people, and being part of a fast-paced team, we'd love to hear from you.
