Applicant FAQ:

For a cashier position the minimum age in Oregon is 18, and in Washington 21.  For gas
attendant or foodservice positions the minimum age is 16.

You can send your resume and/or application to our main office, but it’s quicker to go
in person to a store and turn it in to the manager.  

The main office does not track which stores currently have openings.  Applications
received at the office are forwarded to field supervisors.

Applicants are not necessarily hired for the store where the application was turned in;
stores within an area share the applicant pool based on their staffing needs. If you
have a preference you may note it on your application.
