The Full-Service Shopper role is accessible to individuals with a personal vehicle and a recent smartphone, emphasizing autonomy, customer service, and attention to detail.

As a Full-Service Shopper, you receive grocery or household orders through the Shopper app and personally pick the items from local stores. You ensure the quality and accuracy of the orders while navigating the store layout efficiently.
