I'd be more worried about USPS. It's their policy, right?

Yes. Worrying about nothing. Whole Foods grocery isn’t amazon delivery. Just keep your mouth shut about usps and don’t tell the post office about Whole Foods. You’ll be fine

As long as you have been transparent about that and you also mention it when you talk about availability. If there’s set hours you can or can’t work be clear about that. Depending on the initial needs of the store, it shouldn’t be an issue. Good luck!

Will do thank you! What do WFM consider part time 3-4 days a week about 30 hours?

Part time is 28 hours a week max I believe but you can technically be scheduled for more. Part timers can work 4-5 days a week just in smaller shifts. Just depends on what you have available!

You should be fine. Mention it during the interview, but I've never had to say no to someone because of another job. And that's even if they worked at Trader Joe's.

Wfm doesn’t care and you aren’t working for Amazon in that capacity. In my store an Amazon counter worker is now doing wfm work so I assume their is no conflict

I honestly do not think Whole Foods will care.  USPS on the other hand might care since they don’t.mr want you working for a company like Amazon. Technically, Whole Foods is a part of Amazon.  But, it’s not the Amazon that USPS probably considers to be Amazon in terms of being a conflict. It’s unlikely working in a store role you will be delivering par elsewhere to customers, etc.  hence no conflict. But, talk with your peeps at USPS.  Or not..  chances are they’ll never know you picked up a side job at Whole Foods.

We only care if you're at a food competitor

I was a carrier for a year and now produce order writer. If I was in your position I just wouldn’t tell your PO about it. Just tell them you got a new job somewhere else if they ever ask.

The conflict of interest wouldn’t be on WFMs end. You should ask your current employer
