      It's that women tend to just not like physical labour and it's also more socially acceptable for them to stay at "pink collar" jobs like food service, customer service, etc..

It's tough getting used to it, but once you've adjusted to the work it gets easier, and you might even find yourself moving faster than they need you to -- which is great if they offer incentives.

      Sauce Boss it gets the bills paid and u can save back money for what u want. Or u could be sitting on ur ass broke with no cigar. Im looking at a job like this right now just came from West Texas on pipline had a tank explode at work and my car burns down when I'm trying to leave back. Been back home in Oklahoma for a year now warehouse work is the only decent paying jobs around me. Hopefully I find a place ✌️

      Don't most warehouse jobs have advancement opportunities??? I won't deny work sucks, but it ALWAYS does and I'm starting to get the vibe lazy asses on the internet just wanna walk in and instantly get promoted to a position that isn't "underpaid and shit."

      If you get good at something then it doesn't matter, but if you're just a middling selector then this job is fucking soul-crushing stuff. I remember when I used to suck and I hated this job.

    I am yet to see a video which has a selector who knows how to stack a solid pallet. Pallet must be stacked so product doesn't get smashed. These guys suck

    Damn, dude is trash. Get closer to the racks if you want to improve your time and lower the physical strain on your body.
    All the cases are on the sides of the aisle, drive to the cases so you dont have to walk with a case and pull up to the side you picking from.
    But you don't have to listen to me about it, I only set performance records at just about every job I selected at.
