INTRODUCTION

The SHOP has additional duties that require volunteers during non-opening hours, in case the opening hours don't suit your schedule, feel free to sign up for these shifts. These shifts help us maintain clean, full, and organized shelves daily. We will periodically send out sign-up sheets for these shifts.

A- EGG PREP SHIFT

This shift will be different from the SHOP opening hours shift. Please refer to the sign-in genius link. The eggs will be inside the SHOP upon your arrival. Refer to Module I for opening and clocking in for your shift.

Clock in
Behind the counter is a back storage area where the labels and clear plastic egg bags are located.
Write the current date on the labels (i.e. write December 12, 2023 or 12/12/2023)
Put on gloves before handling eggs.
Ensure that none of the eggs in the carton are broken or cracked. If so, remove the egg and throw it away. Place one label on each egg carton.
Once labeled, place the egg carton into a plastic bag, tie the plastic bag into a knot, and place it on the shelves located to the right of the industrial refrigerator.
Repeat until all eggs have been labeled, bagged, and placed on the shelves.
Wash hands thoroughly in hot, soapy water after handling eggs.
Turn the lights off and lock back the SHOP.

B- DELIVERY SHIFT

This shift will be different from the shop opening hours shift. Please refer to the sign-up genius link. Our trucks' delivery hours are different each day. If you sign up to be part of the delivery crew, stay alert for the specific delivery hours the day before. We encourage different groups and organizations on the campus to sign up to help during these hours so you won't be alone. Here are some delivery overviews.

Alert the front desk to unlock the loading dock.
Clock in ( Refer to Module I)
Use carts in SHOP to wheel items back and forth from the dock.
Stock shelves and cooling units. Put frozen and refrigerated food away first.
Break down all boxes and bring them back to the loading dock.
Alert the front desk when done with the dock so they can lock the door again.

Lifting Safety during Deliveries

SHOP's deliveries often include large boxes of food, and it is important to use safe lifting practices when helping with deliveries. Please watch the video below from EH&S about preventing hazards using the link. A lifting/back safety sheet is below as well.
