How do I find out if this job losting is correct?

I need a job, and I live near a fred meyer. Years ago I saw a listing of theirs that said "courtesy clerk/bagger". I applied thinking I was going to be a bagger. At the interview, they said they don't have baggers, and I'll be pushing carts, and cleaning bathrooms. I ended up chickening out when they called me for orientation, and told them I got another offer. Well, years later, I see the same listing. "Courtesy clerk/bagger". Im pretty sure it's what I think it is. (A cart pusher) but I dont want to go to the interview and find out its not what I think it is. Could I just find an employee and ask? I have communication issues, so situations like this are difficult for me.

It's understandable to want clarity before committing to an interview. Consider reaching out to Fred Meyer directly via phone or email to inquire about the specific duties of the "courtesy clerk/bagger" position. Alternatively, visiting the store and asking to speak with a hiring manager or a current employee may provide insight. If communication is challenging, preparing questions in advance can help. Additionally, research online forums or job review sites where employees share their experiences. Gathering this information can help you make an informed decision with confidence.

It’s not uncommon for job titles, especially in retail settings, to no longer mean that exclusive job. A cashier at a place like Target is also now responsible for not just being a cashier but stocking product and working to organize products to get ready to sell in the warehouse. I would double-check the job description to be sure, but honestly? You can probably just be a bagger, they’ll just want you doing some other tasks when there’s downtime and no customers are present. It’s not a big deal

They might want to hire a special type of person for that role, such as a disabled person so they can fulfill their mandatory quota of disabled employees, which the government sets saying every organization that contains more than a certain number of employees must have at least one disabled employee on their pay roster. Or they might want to hire some young and petite females for the job as a sort of visual decoration incentive for people to visit the store. I have a second cousin who used to work as a professional model, she was paid to wear the brand name clothes of the store and stand there inside the store and let people watch her while they shopped. Another possibility is that they want to hire somebody who is a family member of a top executive at the business, and are not vetting people without established connections to management.
