Class code 8060 — Convenience Store
Retail sale of convenience goods, sometimes paired with fuel sales.
This classification covers convenience stores selling a mix of snacks, beverages, tobacco, and everyday household items, often operating extended or 24-hour hours and sometimes paired with fuel sales. It's distinguished from a full grocery store by its smaller format and faster-paced, high-transaction-volume environment.
Staff handle a high volume of cash and card transactions, restock coolers and shelves frequently throughout the day, and often work alone or with minimal staffing during late-night or early-morning shifts. Payroll includes cashiers, stock clerks, and shift supervisors.
Extended hours and cash-handling create exposure beyond typical retail slip-and-fall risk, including robbery-related incidents during solo late-night shifts. Combined with standard retail hazards like lifting stock and minor slips, this places convenience stores at a somewhat higher risk tier than general merchandise retail despite the small footprint.
What code 8060 typically includes
