Helping Hands

Wegmans employees that maintain the appearance and safety of the parking lot, vestibule and landscaped areas; gather shopping carts, and lend a “helping hand” by walking customers to their vehicles, and helping them load there groceries into the vehicle. Most of them are young men in their teens and twenties. You can tell them apart from other employees by their distinctive highlighter neon green shirts that say “Helping Hands” on them, and the shorts that they are allowed to wear during late Spring, summer, and early Fall. most other Wegmans employees are never allowed to wear shorts. Helping Hands used to wear traffic cone orange shirts. They are the mud-rain-frost-and-wind boys of Wegmans, and will go out and do their job in both sweltering heat and sub-zero temperatures. They are often treated as the wiping boy of the store, under appreciated by management, and the job can be quite physically intensive, but can also be much more laidback and low-key than a lot of other jobs at Wegmans, especially on slow days, and you’re free to move around unlike cashiers who have to stand in one spot.
