*COVID-19 Note: Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic, we will begin operations as online sales with curbside pick-up or mail delivery only. This means most customer interactions will be over the phone and working conditions will require masks and social distancing measures. The bulk of the role will be processing online orders and notifying customers when their orders are ready. As circumstances shift, we may move to an in-store shopping situation that will follow state and city guidelines.
