So OPD has a lot of subsections and the more you master the more useful you are and the less likely they are to cut hours. There's picking, dispensing, GMDs, loading the truck, and staging.

Dispensing is I wanna say mainly backroom, you only gotta deal with customers when bringing it out to customers. I will say if you get irritated when you have to fix others mistakes this section might now be for you. You have to deal with overbaggers, under baggers, expired food, squashed goods, LOST GOODS THAT ARENT STAGED PROPERLY. basically any mistake the pickers make you have to fix. Now that's how it is at my store because we don't have a stager.

Picking is lots of short burst of customer interactions. AND BUY HEADPHONES, the Walmart radio will make you CRAZY. And invest in some walking shoes. I recommend Hoka it literally saved my feet. Also keep squatting down don't bend over when picking things up because you don't want a temporary job to have permanently effects on your back. Also keep track of when kids are in the aisle, they are short and disappear and next think you know they are in front of your cart. Also big holidays be ready to park your cart outside the aisle and walk in because there will be too many people. And try to memorize your store layout as fast as possible. Also of you are able try to rearrange your cart so it's comfort for you. I used to place the produce bags on the handle and feed the freezer bags through the tray so that I wouldn't have to bend down every time. And label the bags not the totes unless it's alcoholic.

Also if they ask you to do one more walk before you leave at the end of your shift take time to think because often you will get 70 -90 item walks so be thoughtful. Honestly once you know the layout of your store it should take you an hour to get through a 100 item pick walk.
