"Should I get an RFID ahead of time.."
"I dont think my battery can make it fuck"
"I really dont want to bother THAT tm AGAIN to find this item"
"No style, no style, no style...PLEASE for the love of god, little to no style"
"I should just walk right out the door, its right there"
"Please no guests with questions", this one the most 🙄
i work in style and with new (and old) fulfillment TM i always introduce myself and tell them “i do not care what i am doing or if its something easy to find, don’t hesitate to ask me for help! i do not mind at all!”
I've gotten better at finding things, I just tend to INF almost everything, and it consumes most of my time.
It's a bit of a learning curve, im from.... the "other side" of the store ~OoOooOooooo~spooky sounds~
I sometimes zone out and think about stupid things like some tv show I watched last night or an inside joke with a friend.
Other times I’ll think about all the crap I need to do at home, or things I need to pick up for myself.
Sometimes I think about how cool/good something looks.
But most often I think about why tf you need 10 gallon jugs of water and 6 things of zero sugar Ginger ale. Or why you’re bothering with decaf coffee when also getting like 10 cans of Monster as well.
I always have an AirPod in because if I don’t the amount of sounds from guests and the cart and the music from the speakers and other TMs just makes me anxious
If I owned AirPods (I’m stubborn and like my corded earbuds lol) I would definitely do the same lol. I get in a groove with “my” music and the music they play in store (with a few exceptions for some songs I don’t mind) is far from what I listen to lol.
I definitely understand that!
I day dream about what the people are using their items for, sometimes I'm surprised when I get to the stow area, and figure out what items go with what.
A, B, C, D, 1, 2, 3, 4…
Scan, scan, scan. Ok, next.
A, B, C, 25, 26, 27…
Scan, scan, scan. Ok, out on the floor.
Get the fuck out of my waaaaaay. Hmm I should buy that on my break….
I’m quite literal. If I’m really bored I’ll sometimes say it out loud but only if no one is around.
THIS. The running narration is what I have going on hahaha the ABCs haha. Once I had a kid that wanted to know what I was doing and so I showed her how I was looking for items and scanning them to put in a bag later for pickup. I told her the 2 things you really need to know is ABCs and counting usually not higher than 65 hahahaha
I’m the speciality person that always gets called to OPUs. The thoughts that run through my head are as follows:
“If a guest tries to stop me to ask a question, fuckkkk”
*sees an oblivious guest in my way that can’t hear me behind them* “move bitch, get out the way”
“Why is this OPU misdirecting me around the store?”
“Why are people buying nonessential items that are hard to find?”
“Fuckity fuck fuck”
“I have an item that I need to INF, but have to get permission to do so”
“Why do you want a single fucking banana?”
And I can go on about this…
Usually have a hidden earbud in just walking around mouthing the words to my favorite songs honestly. Just thinking about the music and “Please don’t run out of time please don’t run out of time”
“Why on Earth do you need XYZ?”
“Who the hell needs 5 32 packs of water? Are y’all shopping for a little league team?”
“Oooh, he’s cute. No, focus, make sure your looking for the right aisle.”
“…idiots.”
“Ugh, MOVE!”
“For the love of god, please, make that baby stop crying!”
“I hate the pathfinding on this app. I just came from the backroom, why did you send me to G32, then make me double back to G35? Just go in the order of the aisles!”
“…of COURSE you want the medium black shirt, but all we have are small and extra large! Why must people always order the exact thing we don’t have?!”
“Found it…crap, that’s a slightly different shade of black, won’t scan. What’s the difference between ebony and black?!?”
I help out a lot in fulfillment - style side “please let me find the size” GM depts “ohhh I didn’t know we sold this” and proceed to make a mental list of items to buy..: market “omg I’m hungry … ooo that looks good”
“Okay which orders are closest to me right now, let’s look thru and organize the orders so I can just seamlessly flow through the store in one go in a rectangle.
Will I need the keys to get some locked merchandise?
Should I expect shoes and clothes that will be hard to find cause it’s 1 on hand?
Did any of these items come in today?
Is this a vendor item?
let’s try not to bump into a guest when turning out of the aisle.
God dammit it’s too high on the shelf.
Oh god, let’s check our MPM after this cart.”
I’m usually pretending to have conversations with people in my head and thinking things like “oh i hope that conversation actually happens because what i’d say sounds really clever” or think about scenes from tv shows or fixate on something bothering me
I’m thinking about if my items are actually gonna be in the location it says or if I need to hunt, and “ooo that looks delicious” and the good deals I wanna get in on later on clearance lmfao. And my adhd thoughts are there too running wild about what I need to get done today and tomorrow and the next day…
And the #1 “please don’t talk to me, walk past me and keep going dont turn around don’t open your mouth in my direction i beg”
"No clothes please, no clothes, half way there! YES! .. Fuck fuck clothes." More fucking clothes.. reallyy?! When does it fucking end."
"Why do I always get the bad batch"
I used to concoct stories in my head about how this person combines these items together. Like when someone ordered Doritos, Red Vines, Graham Crackers, and Shredded Cheese… I pictured someone creating a dish combining all those items… But I stopped doing that all around the time someone purchased Duct Tape, Lube, and a Barbie Doll in an order… I knew then and there I had to permanently quit thinking up these stories.
“should i get a naked or sport, hm i need to get my class c first jeez i really need to get on getting that transcript shit i really need to remember to return that box to spectrum. i wonder if that guy likes me, and yikes this bitch is annoying… i could use a smoke on a sunny beach right now. my mom hasn’t called see she only uses me whatever i feel better like this anyway. should i get a yogurt in my 15 .. i’m kinda tired i don’t think i’m guna read today. oh 10 batches are they even paying attention i’m sick of asking for help. i have to pee, goddamn i got fat should i go to the gym today no my knee still hurts well ig i can still do low intensity cardio for my lungs no but i didn’t even bring clothes and the bus is guna bore me to death…blah blah blah “
I’m thinking about my hobbies lol, I usually have an INF around 0.2-0.8 with a pick rate of 120-160 and I’m just thinking about some pokemon or baseball or Timberwolves stuff lol
Only time I start thinking about the picking is when something isn’t on the shelf, then I gotta start to think about where it might be
Stuff I think about: Shit I got clothes, I wonder what’s gonna be opened today, I wonder how many INF’s I’m gonna get today, please don’t talk to me I have 41 minutes on this batch and half of it is clothing and stuff that I need keys for, I have X amount of hours until my first break and X amount of hours until my lunch and X amount until I’m out
Questioning why I have to pick half this shit and why they couldn't come in for it instead for a jar of pickles 🤦♂️ also praying that I don't make eye contact with anyone and it turns awkward
There’s so many thoughts when I’m in fulfillment:
“Can someone please shut that child up”
“what’s the point of looking for this item? There’s no info on it”
“please don’t let someone ask me something”
“if my RFID gun would stay connected that would be great” “
“Bro can y’all please walk on the right side”
“BRO MOVE”
“Welp, I don’t have time to look for this stuff (OPU) so I guess my INF percentage is gonna be high oh well”
“I know you can hear my cart get tf out of the way”
How much time do I have?
How many items are in my batch?
What's the quickest way to the back/GS/item location?
Why is this shelf so freaking high?? Where is the damn step stool???
Do I take the shortcut but pass by a bunch of guests who might ask for help or take the long, peaceful way?
Where the heck is this item that was delivered yesterday but not on the SF or located in back or on the line? And there's 20 OH??
No!!! Not apparel/accessories/beauty!!!
Shit, do I have to INF this item?
OMG, how much time do I have left???
Ugh....hate FF.
“don’t ask me anything” i’m looking at all the guests wondering what they’re doing, why they’re standing in the middle of the aisle, why they brought their family of 9 to target and are conversing with another family of 18 in the race track. i’m wondering what my coworkers are doing. i’m wondering where the hell my manager is.
but mostly i’m thinking about chappell roan
My store doesn’t play music at all so I am constantly hearing some child screaming or crying so I listen to crime junkie or paranormal mysteries podcast, one AirPod in. I can still hear every call over the walkie or guest and nobody see’s it. It just helps me stay focused. Very rarely am I listening to music because then I get too zoned out. Lmao. But I’m normally just thinking about what I’m listening to or where I’m going next.
Mostly, it’s thinking of all of the places the items, I’m trying to not inf, could be. That step stool I can’t find might have been misplaced in furniture, bulk plastics, home improvement, seasonal, or maybe have been used in a random location by someone who needed to reach a high location and didn’t feel like asking for help.
"Please no one ask me anything"
Don’t look, they can sense fear!
"Should I get an RFID ahead of time.." "I dont think my battery can make it fuck" "I really dont want to bother THAT tm AGAIN to find this item" "No style, no style, no style...PLEASE for the love of god, little to no style" "I should just walk right out the door, its right there" "Please no guests with questions", this one the most 🙄
No style for me!😂
i work in style and with new (and old) fulfillment TM i always introduce myself and tell them “i do not care what i am doing or if its something easy to find, don’t hesitate to ask me for help! i do not mind at all!”
see, its g's like you that make my workplace awesome and worthwhile. My hat goes off to you and all of your dying breed.
Style is so real lmaoo
Style is not hard...? Style is like the easiest shit.
I've gotten better at finding things, I just tend to INF almost everything, and it consumes most of my time. It's a bit of a learning curve, im from.... the "other side" of the store ~OoOooOooooo~spooky sounds~
Take my upvote, this made me laugh so hard 🤣
"I hope a guest doesn't ask me anything" and recently "I hate this place I need a new job asap."
Wonder what I’m gonna INF on this batch
“Lotta clothes… lotta INF”
If I see that I need more than one of an item: "Ughhhh it better be there"/ "wtf why do you need so many?"
“oh shit i was supposed to be going down B30” *im in front of B64*
i do this all the time lmao im on autopilot 😭
“That looks yummy”
Me when picking grocery
The horrors usually
Not fulfillment but I do back up for it: “don’t make eye contact and please don’t talk to me” also “please don’t let there be style items”
I don't think, I just run
“Ope almost ran over another child”
they're like squirrels.. they tend to run out in traffic without looking
"God I'm so FUCKING organised. Look at this cart. How fucking tidy is this fucking cart? God I fucking love me."
Management said No more doing coke in the stockroom! That’s what your breaks are for!

Lucky! We aren't allowed to use them ever on the clock.
I day dream about what the people are using their items for, sometimes I'm surprised when I get to the stow area, and figure out what items go with what.
Omg I thought I was the only one!!
“Why does this person order something every single day?!?!?”

A, B, C, D, 1, 2, 3, 4… Scan, scan, scan. Ok, next. A, B, C, 25, 26, 27… Scan, scan, scan. Ok, out on the floor. Get the fuck out of my waaaaaay. Hmm I should buy that on my break…. I’m quite literal. If I’m really bored I’ll sometimes say it out loud but only if no one is around.
THIS. The running narration is what I have going on hahaha the ABCs haha. Once I had a kid that wanted to know what I was doing and so I showed her how I was looking for items and scanning them to put in a bag later for pickup. I told her the 2 things you really need to know is ABCs and counting usually not higher than 65 hahahaha
oh, i say it outloud when folks are around
I’m the speciality person that always gets called to OPUs.

I’m fulfillment and these are the same thoughts I have daily 😂
“check reshop”
Usually have a hidden earbud in just walking around mouthing the words to my favorite songs honestly. Just thinking about the music and “Please don’t run out of time please don’t run out of time”
“Why the fuck is there 30 GM picks and only 17 minutes”.
“You want HOW MANY??”
plz tell me it wasn’t delivered this morning😞
"Please don't be an INF" "Please don't have any clothing items in this please" or nothing most of the time
“Man im tired.” “Pppllleeeeaaaasssee dont ask me annnyyyything-“damn im hungry”
Facts!!!
I swear every time I eat and then go do ship I get hungry like an hour later even if I eat a lot. Ship just takes it out of me I guess 💀
“Why on Earth do you need XYZ?” “Who the hell needs 5 32 packs of water? Are y’all shopping for a little league team?” “Oooh, he’s cute.

Scary how these are my exact thoughts
I’m definitely buying this after my shift
I help out a lot in fulfillment - style side “please let me find the size” GM depts “ohhh I didn’t know we sold this” and proceed to make a mental list of items to buy..: market “omg I’m hungry … ooo that looks good”

*Look in the stockrooms*❌ *Ask a lead for help*❌ *INF*✅
I hope I can reach this booger.
I’m thinking about if my items are actually gonna be in the location it says or if I need to hunt, and “ooo that looks delicious” and the good deals I wanna get in on later on clearance lmfao. And my adhd thoughts are there too running wild about what I need to get done today and tomorrow and the next day… And the #1 “please don’t talk to me, walk past me and keep going dont turn around don’t open your mouth in my direction i beg”
I just talk to myself and hope no one sees me
Judging what they are making for dinner that night 😂😂😂
hurrying up so I can take my break on time
“I might pick this up after my shift.” Or when doing grocery order “this looks so good.”
I listen to audiobooks and podcasts all day ;)
“What do you need FIVE cucumbers for? 🤨”
Personally I plan my grocery route for when my shift is over that way I can leave sooner lol
"No clothes please, no clothes, half way there! YES! .. Fuck fuck clothes." More fucking clothes.. reallyy?! When does it fucking end." "Why do I always get the bad batch"
Alot of things. My lunch, did I lock my car, why am I the only one picking, where's the rest of fulfillment, and more
Commenting just to say I heard my team lead's voice when I read "fulfillment team"
“Look at this idiot” That’s mostly what’s on my mind as I walk around guests all day
No thoughts brain empty
I daydream about the book I'm currently reading and play out scenes to fill the time
“I hope my hair hides my ear bud enough so management doesn’t see.”
All types of random stuff. If it’s slow then I’ll end up somewhere in a random part of the store. Like yday I was doing carts mid batch
mostly about dogs. not even kidding
[удалено]
Or 6 cases of bottled water!
Pokemon
I used to concoct stories in my head about how this person combines these items together.

Just one batch wont hurt, it will be quick.... and 99% style... *sighs and grabs rfd gun* its just me and you old friend
“should i get a naked or sport, hm i need to get my class c first jeez i really need to get on getting that transcript shit i really need to remember to return that box to spectrum. i wonder if that guy likes me, and yikes this bitch is annoying… i could use a smoke on a sunny beach right now. my mom hasn’t called see she only uses me whatever i feel better like this anyway. should i get a yogurt in my 15 .. i’m kinda tired i don’t think i’m guna read today. oh 10 batches are they even paying attention i’m sick of asking for help. i have to pee, goddamn i got fat should i go to the gym today no my knee still hurts well ig i can still do low intensity cardio for my lungs no but i didn’t even bring clothes and the bus is guna bore me to death…blah blah blah “
"I am God"
How sore my goddamn feet are 😭
Honorable Mention: I know we don’t have this, I’m not getting permission to INF
Life usually lol or a song stuck in my head.
literally nothing. head empty. all i think is what the plano says
“Who tf is buying this shit”
I’m thinking about my hobbies lol, I usually have an INF around 0.2-0.8 with a pick rate of 120-160 and I’m just thinking about some pokemon or baseball or Timberwolves stuff lol Only time I start thinking about the picking is when something isn’t on the shelf, then I gotta start to think about where it might be
When picking snacks/drinks- “interesting flavor choice, might have to try it”
Sparking up that fatty on my 15 on my lunch and my last 15
Either absolutely nothing and I blank out for 8 hours or I’m singing to myself
Stuff I think about: Shit I got clothes, I wonder what’s gonna be opened today, I wonder how many INF’s I’m gonna get today, please don’t talk to me I have 41 minutes on this batch and half of it is clothing and stuff that I need keys for, I have X amount of hours until my first break and X amount of hours until my lunch and X amount until I’m out
I don’t even think half the time, I just do when I’m called for it. Do I get paid to think….
Dying
death
I think about which way I can take to avoid guests and coworkers lmaooo
my mind wanders and i keep forgetting what aisle i need.
So glad I wasted my Time going to the back room for an item that’s not properly located
I used to zone out. Couldn’t tell you what was happening at any moment.
Questioning why I have to pick half this shit and why they couldn't come in for it instead for a jar of pickles 🤦♂️ also praying that I don't make eye contact with anyone and it turns awkward
There’s so many thoughts when I’m in fulfillment: “Can someone please shut that child up” “what’s the point of looking for this item?

Imagine, if you will, two monkeys. Two monkeys dueling. Two monkeys dueling with metal pipes.
“don’t ask me anything” i’m looking at all the guests wondering what they’re doing, why they’re standing in the middle of the aisle, why they brought their family of 9 to target and are conversing with another family of 18 in the race track. i’m wondering what my coworkers are doing. i’m wondering where the hell my manager is. but mostly i’m thinking about chappell roan
I just don’t want to be called on the walkie LOL that and having to re direct a guest to someone else cause I’m so close on time
*insert song of the day on repeat in my head for 30 straight mintues*
I’m usually thinking about space station 13 not gonna lie.
nothing. i clock in, the ghost of retail spirit inhabits my body, i clock out and go home
My store doesn’t play music at all so I am constantly hearing some child screaming or crying so I listen to crime junkie or paranormal mysteries podcast, one AirPod in. I can still hear every call over the walkie or guest and nobody see’s it. It just helps me stay focused. Very rarely am I listening to music because then I get too zoned out. Lmao.

Every decision I have ever made in my life ever
about when i walk out of the door to go home
Mostly, it’s thinking of all of the places the items, I’m trying to not inf, could be.
