Depends everyone starts pushing carts or in the foodcourt. Those are your two choices.
Food court is a trap and if you start there you will be unable to leave. This is where most of the turnover happens. You become good and no one wants to let you out to the floor or cash register. I had supervisors that worked the foodcourt for 8 years threaten to quit unless they could get on the floor. Even then theyd drag him back on short staff days until he said hed quit the next time the ask him to cover the court.This is where I started because it was a 100 degree summer and I didn’t want to push carts. Air conditioning is nice. Very little in the way of physical lifting but it’s fast paced and you move around a lot. I did hurt my back moving pizza trays but that was my own fault trying to lift and turn with 75 pounds.
Pushing carts. Initially a lot of physical work but you build strength and stamina fast. Push carts for 3 months and you’ll be on the floor or register. So if you want to progress to supervisor/manager/corporate role you should really start in carts if you have any sort of physical capacity.
At least at my Costco the food court is always understaffed and always slammed. Hot dogs are a big component of that but I would wager they do more traffic in whole pizzas. The people working the food court always seem like they are stressed and moving full speed.
I’m not sure, but there is a bit of a classist thing where the foodcourt is looked down on. I would say that is one downside and advice to anyone thinking about working their. Push carts, avoid the food court.

Dang what do they do in the food court that makes it so important
