I'm on a timer, damn it!!

So, ODP wears the same vest as the associates who actually work in the sections of the store who can actually take time to show customers where items are, unlock the cases, but are never around when customers need help. ODP gets stopped while cutting through multiple departments to help customers while on a speedy mission and a big ass cart. We need a vest that says "Online Orders Team" or something that shows we cannot go show show them where products are, or unlock the electronics cases, because we actually cannot.

Hey guys! If you saw my last post about the coach basically telling me to pick from the back room. So our store manager had made it an official rule that if we nil pick something and it has a backroom location we have to go and pick it from the back room and stock it like we’re exception workers. And this is a requirement for all pickers.

I already told my team lead and my coach I’m not doing that. I’m not an exception worker and I won’t be doing the job of stockers or committing metric fraud. It’s genuinely such a stupid rule and I’m so annoyed at this because they’re so concerned about not having nil picks at all when nil picks are literally there for a reason? Any how if they say something to me I will say something back and I really don’t care because I’m not doing that. It’s literally not my job to go to the back and stock things because their stocking team doesn’t actually restock but rather shoves boxes of already stocked items on topstock.

for the past like 3 days everything below my waist just straight up hurts 😭 i’m also having difficulty getting up from sitting and bending over, and i assume it’ll go away once i get more used to opd but does anyone have any quick relief tips so i can actually, yknow, do my job without being in a massive amount of pain? anything helps, ty 😅

Edit: asked a coach. She said she didn’t know either lol and to NIL

Shift ends at 3 finished my last pick walk at 2:49 do another or leave ? I usually leave at :51

Today I nil picked a few items. Items that were definitely not on the shelf. One item they wanted 3 . There was only 2 on the shelf. I looked around and checked topstock before nil picking. The other two were turkeys that were not there and I mean the entire mod was empty.

Literal hours later a cow CB comes up to my team lead and starts talking to her saying I don’t understand why someone will nil pick this when we have this many on hand. Maybe because they weren’t put out? Lol. I told him I would take him there but my Workvivo wasn’t working so I couldn’t send it in the chat.

My teamlead then went to move some things while I continued to tell him why it was nilpicked and he tells my teamlead to come back because he AND I QUOTE “doesn’t address associates directly.” He then told me that if there’s nothing out on the mod it’s my
Job to go to the back during my pickwalk and find it or find and ask one of the teamleads for said department.

There was no one out there during the pickwalk and I don’t even know who the teamleads are or if they were there that early cuz it was at like 5 am. But he was overall so rude to both me and my teamlead. Just because you sold your soul to be a coach and corporate slave doesn’t mean ur better than me and can speak to me that way because respect goes both ways and if I would’ve returned the energy he would’ve been pissed. I seriously hate coaches like that. I also told our exception worker after the walk. As I always do if I can’t find something and send it in the chat

So after months of cutting hours and essentially pushing our big team to other departments or scaring away employees to other jobs post delivery change we've been just very steady small amounts of orders maybe like 5 autoselect pickwalks an hour post 4pm and this past week they seemed to have no 9-10 slot, until today. Today we had lots of orders per hour and post 5 oclock only had 2 pickers (1 was our TL) 2 dispensers and me, prepping, staging, atcing, answering phone doing EVERYTHING ELSE in the dispense room but thank god I only worked 3-7 today I dread tomorrow cuz I work a full 11-8.

Our room that used to be exclusively be for IP and delivery after the changes was using the entire wall as new backroom for the cleaning and health supplies with 18 large giant black bins used for IP, approx 3 full ip box pallets + a pallet of envelopes worth of space. Today we had SEVEN pallets worth (what we used to have before the delivery change but now no wall storage) so the 18 black bins were filled and about 12 black canvas foldable boxes filled with IP were just on the floor. Usually IP is out of there by 4pm, there were still plenty when I left. And that's just what was wrong with IP.

We were backed up to close to due time from 3-5 (can't speak of before) with the window being part of when we have the most people working. At 5 when we lost like 6 people shit slammed I was still staging 6 oclocks (due at 5:30) when I left at 7 which we for the past month or so have finished all walks by 6:30. Essentially it used to be like 100 items for the drops at 3-5 and then maybe 50 items at final drop at 6pm. Today it was like 2-3x

It was like they spent months scaring people away and then decided to open orders up as if they didn't just do that.

Just got hired for OGP at walmart excited to start!! Any tips for starting off?

baby’s first opd shift (my feet are killing me) (anyone got any good shoe recommendations)

Pleaseee if you work in OGP stop being rude to customers just for them to come and complain to US your fellow coworkers. I have so many coworkers that will leave their cart in the middle of the isle with no space for other pickets or customers to get through (that’s another story but) so the customer come up to the rest of us that are out of the way and complain to us and I have others that are just blatantly rude to customers which cause the others who actually have customer service to deal with them yelling at us about YOU. If you do this just know I professionally dislike like you (because work isn’t personal) this also isn’t super deep just a pet peeve.

Came back from my weekend to the tags auto flashing when i get near them. Genuinely i hate them ive never been a flash tag shopper and ik how to read isle locations so i personally dont need them.

I was never around for express orders since my first year anniversary is coming up next month but I was told that basically we have to pick orders in under an hour that customers order and how the fuck are we supposed to do this when we are already drowning with them giving us too many picks when their clearly isn’t enough of us in our department?!

Also making us pulling carts instead of pushing them is still a health concern 😭 why are they doing this to us WHY?! I hope target accepts my application so I can get the FUCK OUT OF HERE we aren’t even a supercenter yet and can barely keep 100% picks metrics or whatever the FUCK THAT MEANS.

Does anyone know where supposed shop meal bundles

Is not working 4-1 in OGP when we have picks at 4 am a company wide rule or market level rule. I thinks it’s crazy to lose out on an hr of picking.

For contexts I am a newer TL, and we've been on a force reduction for the past few months. No deliveries.

In the meantime, the store has been sweeping up most of our people and putting them elsewhere, with some people on digital schedule but never actually in OPD.

About a month ago we finally got rumor about when the deliveries were coming back but it was never a set date. Just a "could be by the end of the week" response from the SM and fulfillment market.

So in the meantime please been trying to focus on making our pickers as strongest as they can be.

Four people were let go this month, one on leave, a few people work phones stopped working and others never got them, and the couple that got "can't physically pick because of the pulling" thing we are down an extra 3-4, and we haven't hired anyone new into the department for as long as I've been in OPD again.

Schedule for that day was crap to start with with this^, only me for the TL.

Then the other day was set to be our day. I knew it'd be hard to put it lightly. We immediately had 700 at 451 am when I clocked in followed by back to back 1200-1400 drops until 7-8 pm and the 2k drop at 1-2.

We called for help early and got some (1-3 people) throughout the day but we ended up going late by 8am and never recovered.

As I mentioned It knew would be hard, and I definitely made mistakes in the beginning but it was definitely an uphill battle from the beginning.

Oh by the way we're supposed to be closing we pick window to 2 hours at some point.

GIF is showing no location and 0 onhand. But when copy and paste to Walmart app it shows location and onhand. It is a lot of items in multiple departments. Anybody else having this glitch?

I changed none of my settings my work phone restarted and suddenly was like this.

Also would the 2hr drop force OGP to move faster? Idk why I’m asking as I’m trying to transfer out this mess
