Opportunities From: Acorn Resale Shop

It's fun to see what treasures people are taking home! It's even more fun to hear the stories about how they will be used!

As a cashier you will work at the register greeting guests, smiling at babies, ringing up purchases, taking payments, and bagging. The kids are always excited to share their camp stories with you too!

One more thing -- you get to wish everyone well as they take their new finds to their forever homes.

There's nothing boring here!
