Store types include grocery, convenience, drug, pet, and mass merchandise, with major national chains such as Walmart, Kroger, Target, Albertsons, and other national chains, as well as independent retailers.

Retail Scan Associates use a downloadable app on their mobile phone to scan barcodes in numerous locations throughout each store.

The base hours for this position average 4–9 hours per week across all stores, varying by store size and workload. Additional hours (typically 1–2 hours per week per store) are assigned for special projects, with higher demand from January through June.
