H-E-B minimum age requirements
H-E-B age requirements — verified fact
H-E-B age guidance should be role-specific, not a single number. The official Candidate Toolkit supports 16 for Curbies, Shoppers, Baggers, Customer Service Assistants, and Checkers; 21 for driver roles; and 18 for other roles, with the exact posting controlling special requirements. Candidates should still verify state law, pharmacy or alcohol-related requirements, equipment or driving duties, overnight or warehouse work, credential gates, and any posting-specific physical or safety requirements before assuming they qualify. A 16-year-old store applicant, a 21-plus driver applicant, a pharmacy candidate, and a Digital or corporate applicant should each read the exact posting rather than relying on a broad H-E-B minimum-age summary.
