    A Stocker is responsible for keeping shelves stocked while having the flexibility to take on other roles in the store as needed. They are primarily responsible for dealing with inventory, even if they complete other necessary tasks. The Store Clerk is solely responsible for serving clients and completing transactions and doesn’t play a role in stock or inventory. They do not unpack or unload warehouse items. Stockers may also have minimal contact with customers, whereas Store Clerks focus heavily on customer service as part of their day-to-day tasks.
