Slinging can be a great workout and you get to be the cashiers go-to penguin.
Once an order confirmed by the cashier and payment has been exchanged it’s your job to bring the ice from the back of the truck to the counter. You will often work in pairs with another Slinger to help transactions move efficiently – and so you can take a break if/when needed.
Important things to note:
- You must be able to lift and carry 45lbs to do this role.
- Close-toed shoes are required. We *highly* recommend wearing shoes with solid treads, such as hiking shoes or work boots. No toes will be harmed in the slinging of this ice.
Nevada State Law requires the following regarding the handling of ice as it is considered a raw food:
- Nipples/groin covered.
- The bed of the truck must have paper and plastic covering it where any free standing bags of ice will reside.
- If a bag is dropped into the dirt or otherwise becomes compromised before reaching the customer it is to be placed in the truck as a “dead bag” that cannot be sold.
