Whether you are assigned a specific area for the day, moved around often, or one designated department for long periods of time, you are responsible for the tasks your leaders have you accomplish. Most days if not all days, you will receive freight (truck), filled with boxes, all of the product that DC sends us for replenishment. Of course, if they actually have you do kitchen and don't jerk you around to other areas but the same principle applies to other repacks from other departments.

This will make sense a few days into the job. If you allow for trash to get all over the place, you'll get frustrated. This will save you a lot of precious time. Whatever doesn't fit, leave in the repack and now you have your first repack for backstock. So you grab that repack and carry it into the aisles and stock. You deal with the cardboard and plastic in one go. So what you want is all the items in that first repack to be ready to stock without you having to open small boxes every time you come back to the Uboat. Instead of opening one little box and taking that one item to the shelf, stay at your Uboat (you'll know what that is) and seperate all the items from the boxes and plastic, break down the boxes and put them one of the empty repacks you go from receiving, put the plastic in the other. A lot of items will come in small boxes in a plastic bag. When doing repacks, go to the recieving area and look for an empty red or black repack (you'll find out what those are) and take 2 to your area. So this is one of those jobs where anything could happen and being flexible and not expecting a permanent daily routine will keep you from getting upset. It may be that in a few weeks or a month with hiring ramping up, you may be asked to train. Also typical is having new hires, train new hires if the regular trainers are unavailable. Maybe other's are asked to help you out if you ever receive a lot of merchandise. Some get to do that and face no consequences, other's end up in the office getting a warning or a write up.īut it's important to realize that while you may be in kitchen most of the time, there may come a day where you're asked to pick up the slack else where. I guess you can tell your boss, "no, you can't tell me what to do!" And plenty of team members, mostly high schoolers do so. But here's the thing about these kinds of jobs, in the job requirements and duties section of the posting there's probly a part that says soething along the lines of being willing to work in other areas to meet "business needs." That essentially means, if your boss tells you to go help out another department, then you kinda have to.

Nope! By "your truck" he means the boxes that came off the truck that are for your department.
