I live two miles from this store and frequently buy groceries there. I know the manager and have spoken to him several times about this gig. HyVee generally does everything 'in house', so they are looking for an employee for low wages, who has the necessary skills to paint store banners and window paper signs in poster enamels....about half the time and work in the store the rest of the time.
I knew one guy ten years ago who did this for HyVee and he complained about the low wages and his inability to fit in with the rest of the crews. They have been looking numerous times since and have called me a couple of times to see if I want to go stock shelves, help with inventory at night and paint store banners whenever they need one....all for small hourly wages.
Apply if you want it, but in my experience in talking with them over the years, they think this skill is beneath that of shelf stock boy or inventory temp. They will continue to sub out a few banners and will continue to get some more of their POP materials from corporate. They are a great chain and are well respected in every way, but I have never been very impressed at how they imagine sign artists must be so hungry to sign up on their low wage program.
My two cents worth....

Ricardo...I think what Joey was saying was that whoever even thought about applying for that job would be better off doing for themselves than doing BS for somebody else.
I don't think he was referring to you when he said mind your own business...I think he was referring to the potential applicant for the job, that they should forget that menial job offer and just get on with their own lives.

Its so predictable that we should be honored to work for a firm who wants it excellent and cheap!
My ad would say: "looking for qualified sign writer who expects to make a good living" as I pay well while expecting the best of this individual's potential, etc.

Now, now, now, if I was new in that town, I'd take the job for a few months or more until I got my own business established. Plus along with the low pay, depends on what's considered low in that area, I would hope to get full medical benefits. Just gotta work it to your advantage.
