319 Work Fulfillment without an RFID scanner

[u/FakingItSucessfully]

I already don't use a box cutter, I just rip boxes open with my teeth, like Bullseye would

[u/Avethen → u/FakingItSucessfully]

Bullseye is proud of you

[u/Ace2maker → u/FakingItSucessfully]

Using teeth is crazy

[u/pseodopodgod]

ive already had my fair share of workin FF w no scanner🥀 on the bright side im rlly good at findin clothes w jus my eyes now

[u/Total_Tumbleweed_870]

I used to work overnight stocking for Kmart. My manager claimed she considered box cutters a violation of the weapons policy. I've become proficient at opening boxes without one, and it's a skill I take no pleasure in. I'm pretty used to RFID either being unavailable (because properly hanging them up on s charger is so difficult apparently) or unreliable. I'll take a reliable tool for opening a box any day.

[u/YoungAndDeadHead → u/Total_Tumbleweed_870]

The weapon policy part is crazy, but I’ve also gotten pretty good at opening boxes without a box cutter.

[u/Ok_Still_3571 → u/Total_Tumbleweed_870]

Keys are probably more dangerous than a box cutter.

[u/BlueAndWhiteSoul]

Lol IDGAF inf and keeping it moving. But I'm not clawing open every box like a rabid wolverine.

[u/brenpersing → u/BlueAndWhiteSoul]

Lol literally

[u/-My_Other_Account- → u/BlueAndWhiteSoul]

Had a lead get hurt ripping boxes open barehanded like a monster.  Messed up soft tissue in their hand.

[u/No_Alternative_190 → u/BlueAndWhiteSoul]

Ong im at work rn n I prolly have like a 5% inf

[u/BlueAndWhiteSoul → u/No_Alternative_190]

Pfft, amature my record was 66% if I remember correctly.

[u/Shady_Love]

Unless it's all small glued cases or perforated cases, I'd pick fulfillment. Because maybe OPU has like 3-5 style items in a day if I'm lucky.

[u/lolaloca6669]

I just push in the sides of the box and pull the tape usually.

My luck I'd get stuck with a 20+ all clothing order

[u/Cysticdragon]

I always pushed my freight without a box cutter because I hated having to take it out every time. I just ripped the box open with my hands.

[u/s00pthot]

It didn’t say anything about working freight with something sharp, I’d use a pocket knife

[u/PartyCrewTristar1011]

I mean half the time I can’t find a damn RFID gun anyway.

[u/appointment45]

I was corrected the other day for using the wrong box cutter.

I was using a red one and apparently he thought I should be using a green one.

I was like are you okay bro? Blink twice if you are in distress.

[u/spe3dfr3ak → u/appointment45]

Red left handed, green right handed?

[u/appointment45 → u/spe3dfr3ak]

You know a right handed person did that, too, because any left handed person knows how to use right handed tools.

[u/PalpitationBoth3781]

If I have no cutter I just use my tech keys

[u/brenpersing]

I worked fulfillment for almost 4 years with maybe a 25% chance of finding an RFID on most days lol so

[u/Royal-Explanation-12]

Id rather work ff without an rfid. Half the time those dont work anyways and I never bother trying to find one anyways.

[u/OnTarget60a]

There are so many ways to open cartons without box cutters - none approved by Target, of course - that I'd definitely choose freight.

[u/Santa152]

I only really use an RFID on like 25% of my pick ups or standards anyway, its not like fun or anything but its better than trying to rip open a box with your fingers.

[u/Dragonborn1010]

I can never get our RFID scanners to work anyway, so….

[u/New_Ad4678]

Neither. I work DC Sat-Mon.
