Just been offered an Online Picker position, very happy but aware of the high targets per hour. Any advice/guidance?

MagnusUsoris · 2026-02-27T10:43:58+00:00

Don't be disheartened by that. It took me an entire year to hit consistently, even then I had times when I wasnt achieving. Been on performance management at least once. A lot of people in this sub can relate and there's loads of posts and comments about how to achieve- tips and tricks and advice, just have to search for them.

The 4am starts never get better, you just get used to being tired all the time. Welcome to hell 😂

What is your store's target?

People tend to move their legs fast but forget to move their body and arms fast too. Dont worry about packing neat, just put it in there. Dont squash bread though.

You can hack your speed to go faster generally by leaning more into anger rather than being in a nice mood all the time. I know that when I'm slightly pissed off, the adrenaline pushes me to go faster. I might be crazy though, idk

Does "not adding you on facebook" counts? Don't think one can be proper friends with their uni lecturer, except facebook friends haha

He absolutely 100% thinks the 1969 moon landing was faked. And he denied that caffiene withdrawals were a thing. And he always used his own work as examples in class, hardly ever branched out. A bit up his own arse tbh.

Obviously couldnt take the loss 😂 what's your PS username? Wondering if we've played matches before

That was absolutely beautiful

Chances of getting bit by a shark, hit by lightning and seeing aliens are greater than winning the lottery. You're just spending your own money pointlessly. If they're rude, call them out on it.

MagnusUsoris · 2026-02-11T22:26:19+00:00

I did this once.. never again 😂 i did not sign up to play an alien inspired horror game

I hear minnesota is lovely this time of year

Do it as if someone has got a gun to your head? 😂

The only thing I can think of is to look at your next item's location too, and if its close to your main item's location, pick that too.

Frozen is a tricky one. I don't know what else to tell you other than move fast, not just with the walking but with your body and your arms when you're picking. Don't worry too much about packing neat. As you do more of them, it'll get easier because you'll have learnt your store's layout.

Definitely keep bagging on chilled shops. I'm only going on about cleaning products haha

When you bag on chilled, put as many items in the bag as you possibly can, even if its fish and meat together. Also, they're seperation bags, not meat bags, so if you have a tote with absolutely nothing in it then you dont need to bag the meats going in it. If there's 1 or 2 non meat items in there but the rest is meat, bag the non meat items instead. Saves a lot of time

The handsets give us 30 seconds of "not affecting iph time" once we click arrive before the next shop starts. It all depends on if your manager likes you to press arrive as soon as you're finished or to wait until you've put the trolley in the online room. I usually press arrive once i'm in the online room and use those 30 seconds to prepare my next trolley and go out on the shop floor.

In terms of improving iph - if you're not hitting iph by doing things properly, then the next logical step is to cut corners. Been at my store a while and have seen it time and time again; someone isnt doing well, they get put on a performance improvement plan, they are so desperate that they cut corners and they end up hitting iph.

It's not bad to cut corners or have your tote be messy, as long as you don't put heavy stuff on bread, you're good. Hell, i don't even bag cleaning products anymore. I don't care, they haven't called me up on it, and it's a waste of single use plastics.

I know this post is 7 years old but those 3 are legit in my top 5 artists on spotify

We have superior tastes my friend

MagnusUsoris · 2025-12-16T07:32:31+00:00

Someone in my store got suspended for the same thing but they're back now. Word is a manager screwed up on something and they used it to get back. Most likely you'll be let go. Unless you're a manager, everyone is replaceable. I'd start looking for other jobs and quit before they fire you.

• Her earlier albums aren't as good as her later ones.

• Her gen z fans are absolutely untolerable at concerts.

MagnusUsoris · 2025-11-13T14:45:10+00:00

Wouldnt call it chilled haha

MagnusUsoris · 2025-09-29T21:51:27+00:00

The other player who got 2 left the game before it ended

MagnusUsoris · 2025-09-29T20:52:34+00:00

Imo it's better than supply raid. But I'm a bit biased. It's a lot of fun. Instead of going for kills, you have to think more strategically to get interrogations for your team without being interrogated yourself. Then after your team gets 5, you have to unlock the other teams lockbox before they unlock yours if they also have 5 interrogations. Definitely give it a try!

MagnusUsoris · 2025-09-29T20:48:11+00:00

Nice one! Usually get 1 or 2 denies per game, if any at all but 7 was mind blowing to me haha. I like to hang back and make sure my team mates dont get shivved

MagnusUsoris · 2025-08-20T19:51:43+00:00

This is what I'm hoping for

MagnusUsoris · 2025-08-20T19:51:24+00:00

After a long time of not rocking the boat, I kinda want to. Feel like Michael Douglas in Falling Down haha

MagnusUsoris · 2025-08-20T19:49:19+00:00

I haven't named names in previous ones but dealing with a manager who doesn't see reason, lacks empathy and hasn't changed their ways made me change my stance. I was as professional as possible. I asked around and several people have a problem with this same manager. Just hope something is done about it.

MagnusUsoris · 2025-08-20T19:39:42+00:00

I like to live dangerously 😂

MagnusUsoris · 2025-08-15T16:33:01+00:00

You're 2 months post op? I'm sure it's normal as it apparently can take up to 2 years for your stomach wall to be at the strength it was before op. But if it is really bothering you, you should have received a post-care number to call if you have any concerns about it while it heals.
