Discount Smoke - Sales Associate

Discount Smoke is Carlinville's top-rated vape, tobacco, hemp, and liquor shop.

We're looking for a friendly, dependable person to join our team part-time.

What you'll do:

• Greet customers and help them find the right product — whether that's a vape, a bottle of liquor, or something new they want to try
• Ring up sales and handle cash and card transactions accurately
• Check IDs and follow all Illinois age-verification laws for tobacco and alcohol sales
• Keep the store clean, organized, and fully stocked
• Build product knowledge over time so you can make solid recommendations
• Build relationships with regular customers (in a town like Carlinville, that happens naturally)

What we're looking for:

• Must be 21 years of age or older (required by Illinois law for tobacco and liquor sales)
• Reliable and punctual — this is a small team and we depend on each other
• Friendly personality and comfortable talking to people of all ages
• Available to work evenings and weekends
• Basic cash-handling and math skills
• Willing to learn about our products — vapes, hemp , tobacco, and liquor/beer
• Able to stand for extended periods during a shift

Nice to have (but not required):

• Previous retail, cashier, or customer service experience
• Knowledge of vape devices, hemp products, or spirits
• Experience with POS systems

What we offer:

• Competitive hourly pay
• Flexible scheduling that works with your life
• Laid-back, positive work environment
• On-the-job training — no experience needed, just a good attitude
• Supportive owners who are hands-on and easy to work with

Pay: $15.00 - $18.00 per hour

Benefits:

• Employee discount
• Flexible schedule
• Paid time off

Application Question(s):

• Are you at least 21 years of age?
• This position requires working solo during late-night shifts and heavy weekend hours. What is your specific availability for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, and how do you handle working independently in a fast-paced environment?"
