Our Requirements:
We expect our team members to be courteous, friendly and engaging – every customer gets a smile and a welcome.
We want our customers to feel great about their visit and our serving team is the key component to making that
happen. We expect you to treat everyone, including your serving teammates, with professionalism and respect. We
want you to have fun at work, but at the same time, we expect you to act accordingly – we tolerate no harassment of
any kind directed towards customers, other team members, or anyone else you come into contact with.
As much as we'd love to allow everyone the flexibility to work whenever is most convenient for them, the
reality of our business is that most of our customer traffic occurs in the evenings and on the weekends,
especially weekend nights. So those are the important times when we need you to be available to work so that
our customers get the great service that they expect.
If you are still in school, those responsibilities should come first, so we'll be as flexible as possible in scheduling
shifts around your school or sports schedule. In return, we ask that you be flexible in understanding that if the
weather is cold or rainy, we may need to cancel some shifts.
A strong work ethic is extremely important to our success. If you are scheduled to work it is expected you will
make every possible effort to meet that commitment. In addition complete honesty and trust is a requirement and
any violation will not be tolerated.
I've read and understand these requirements, and I promise that I can commit to them:
ONE FINAL QUESTION: Working in our ice cream and coffee shop looks like fun from the
outside and it is… but it's also a lot of hard work. The customers can be demanding, there's a
lot of pressure, you have to work when other kids are out having fun, and you have to be willing
to pick up trash, clean utensils, bathrooms, floors, etc. – and you need to do it with a constant
smile. Do you think you can handle it? Use the rest of this page to tell us why you think you
will be good at it and most importantly, enjoy it. (You don't have to write a long essay - just a
few sentences to tell us why you feel you'll enjoy being part of our team – but we base a lot of
our decision on how you answer this) We ONLY hire fun, outgoing people who will truly enjoy
coming to work at “The Scoop” each day! If you are the type of person who looks forward to
talking to customers, remembering their names, making them laugh, smile and creating a
memorable experience, you’re applying for a job at the right place, and we think you’ll love it
Your comments below are your chance to express
here as much as we do!)
yourself and will play a big part in our hiring decisions. Thanks for applying!
