About this role
Acme Markets is hiring a Person In Charge (PIC) for their Anchorage store—a full-time, in-office role that combines front-line customer service with operational leadership. You'll work primarily evenings, stepping into store management when the Store Manager and Assistant Managers are absent. This means real decision-making authority: you'll supervise all store personnel, handle emergencies and customer complaints, ensure compliance with company policies, and keep the store running profitably and efficiently. You'll also work as a cashier-checker, operating registers, processing payments, and bagging groceries.
The role demands versatility and stamina. You'll spend your shift on your feet, constantly reaching and lifting light to moderate weights, walking the sales floor to monitor service and stock levels, and moving between departments as needed. You'll troubleshoot register and scanner issues, assist other cashiers, maintain a clean and safe environment, and handle closing procedures including till counts and office functions. The work is physically demanding but entirely indoors in a standard retail environment.
To succeed here, you need demonstrated customer service skills, the ability to work independently and follow procedures, and ideally prior experience as a clerk or manager. You should be comfortable interacting with both customers and employees, understand store operations across multiple departments, and be ready to take charge when needed. If you're looking for a role with real responsibility in a grocery retail setting, this position offers both leadership opportunity and hands-on operational work.
