No child 18 oryounger, with or without workingpapers, may work checkout or cashier.This rule stems from the New York StateLiquor Law and from our concern foraccuracy and speed in these crucialjobs. Neither may your childwork for people outside of yourhousehold, even if they are relatedto you. Finally, for reasons ofsafety, Coop kids under the age of16 are prohibited from enteringthe Receiving areas on the shoppingfloor and the basement.When your at-home childturns 18 and is out of highschool, he/she will be required tojoin the Coop as a working member.For further information, see page 30of the Membership Manual.✮ EXCITING WORKSLOT OPPORTUNITIES ✮MaintenanceCommando CrewSunday, 8 p.m. to 2 a.m.This squad works a 6-hour shift, onceevery 12 weeks.
