What it's like to be a Curb Attendant

As a Curb Attendant, you handle curbside service โ€” bringing orders to customers' vehicles, loading purchases, and providing service at the curb. With the growth of online ordering and curbside pickup, this role has become common in retail and food service.

Your day involves receiving pickup notifications, gathering orders, bringing them to customers at their vehicles, and ensuring satisfaction. You might work in grocery curbside, restaurant pickup, or retail services. Speed and accuracy matter โ€” customers expect quick service.

The challenge is managing multiple pickups while providing personal service. Peak times can have many customers waiting. You need to work efficiently while still being friendly and ensuring order accuracy.
