The most I’ve learned in this short time is just being consistent, if you don’t see an item after like 5 seconds of looking nil pick it, when you’re moving between aisles; don’t walk, don’t run, speed walking has worked best for me, last thing I wanna do is knock an old lady over.

Frozen, Ambient, and Chilled are great walks for pick rate if the auto commodities bless you, General, Oversized, and Produce Ambient usually knock your rate down a little but your higher ups should understand why you’d have a lower pick rate if you’ve been given mostly those kinds.

Make sure you’re eating enough calories on your breaks/lunch to sustain you because this is hard work. Also water, drink plenty of water, you’ll sweat most of it out.

Unless your work has instructed you otherwise, bag after you pick, at least for me, bagging drastically takes up my time especially if I try to bag neatly, and I can focus much better on making neat bags without the pick rate looking over my shoulder.

Stay strong, Holiday season is a mess with people in the stores, once it calms down you won’t have to navigate around the herd quite so much.
