CHICAGO (WLS) -- They're the frontline workers you might see every week stocking grocery store shelves and bagging your items at the checkout line. If you're Ready to Work, Mariano's is hiring hundreds of people in the Chicago area right now.
They're hard working. Dedicated. And they're here for you during a world-wide pandemic.
"I'm gonna steal this line from the Marines. The few, the proud, the essential workers," said Mariano's employee Sal Ahmed.
Ahmed used to manage a restaurant, but had to find new work because of the pandemic. He is just one of the grocery store workers now on the frontlines of a health crisis keeping you fully stocked and far from famine.
