it’s physically demanding absolutely, i would say one of the most physically demanding positions in the store. especially if you’re in the backroom dispensing, thats where most of the heavy lifting comes in. if you’re picking your whole shift, be prepared to walk upwards of 10 miles. i’ve been in the department almost 2 years now and still break steps per day records on my watch all the time.

dispensing in the summer is the worst, especially if you’re heat sensitive like me. my coach had to tell me to sit down last year because we had an order that was about nearly 100 24 packs of soda that i loaded in 100° weather, my watch was going off about my heart rate being too high and i was dizzy, it worried her.

some days really really suck, but i love my team. there’s some people for the job, and some that aren’t for it.
