I been working at kroget warehouse for bout 5 years now as order selector. I work in the kb area. Life super breezy. Also helps i know every check digit in all the aisles without looking. Photographic memory helps 😂
I worked for Trader Joe's warehouse, JIT DEPARTMENT.. that was a fun job to work in the cooler.. that epj is fun to ride
Much rather select in freezer over any other department. Love it in there, second home for me 🙏 good work, keep it up!
Appreciate the feedback 👍
Ya it’s quiet lol no one wants to work there
Bro how do you dress working in the freezer? I mainly just don’t want my fingers frozen like shit that’s my only concern
@@shottafrm64th 2 pairs of sweatpants, a pair of socks, a t shirt, long sleeve shirt and a hoodie, a beanie and a pair of gloves. The key is to stay in there as much as possible and keep moving, the more you come out to warm up, the worse it’ll get when you go back in there
I have 3 weeks under my belt right now I’m currently running a 85 to 90 percent.. average is like 60 so I’m doing okay but it’s weird I wear 1 pear or gloves and I don’t really feel anything and the cold isn’t bothering me is that bad, must mean I have got numb hands now 😂
I start freezer tomorrow let’s go!! Nice pallets too dude. 💪🏾
Appreciate it
How u dealing with the cold , I'm bout to start
@JOE I'd recommend wool socks. But as long as you are moving at a decent speed you won't feel that cold. I even sweat in there if I go too fast.
@@xqeze Fax
keep these vids coming please!
Gonna be starting this soon, thanks for the video!
Heck yeah, good luck!
How selecting going for you ??
@@MYBtinttv it’s going good! I started in March and at first it was stressful for like 2 months but after a while I’ve gotten used to it and have little to no issues with my stacking. It can be a little frustrating at times depending on the boxes but it’s not as bad as when I first started, pay is great as well
I used to work at C&S unfi and Martin Brower and I will say my favorite place to pick is the freezer 🥶
We used to call it the box
I even traveled and selecting is fun after you get used to it but it does wear your body down after some time
Good stacking 👍🏼
Appreciate it
I’ve worked for all three of those companies also 😭
@@xqeze would compare to pepsi but in freezer n different products???
Hey if u see this which warehouse of those three did u like I worked for all 3 too and Martin browser def... The worse one
@@MrDta416Martin Brower fired me during orientation
Just got done selecting those cases myself and now I'm watching you😄😄 if you can handle the freezing temperatures you should be alright, that's probably half the battle
Yeah, the cold is kinda nice now that I'm used to it.
@@xqeze are you full time in there now? And where is this if you don't mind
@@xqeze what’s cold ?
I started in produce and combo for like a year and transferred to the freezer bc of the dayshift they had, been selecting in freezer for over a 1 year now, I've always been full time in HEB, what about you?
@@jfros9794the warehouse is cold it's -10 in there
Love your pallet building. As someone who will soon be starting this type of work, I was wondering what do I eat? Just a breakfast sandwich and coffee in the morning? and what do I eat for lunch breaks cause this job looks very active.
Whatever doesn't make you feel bloaded or taking a crap. There's nothing worse than pulling boxes with the bubblies. Lol. I drink coffee in the morning and eat something high in protein at lunch. Some people eat donuts for breakfast. I've enjoyed seen someone eat cake for lunch everyday. I eat bigger dinners than I do breakfast or lunch. If you eat too much you will slow down and feel sluggish. But you need something to give you energy. Pre workout mixes or shakes are pretty common breakfasts.
Whatever you do don’t eat nothing heavy cuz all this moving,bending and twisting will have you asking supervisor for 10 minute warm up to go shit. Me I drink a monster eat m&ms,skittles and inhale a small piece of marijuana 🤧
@@SUNSHINESTATE904that’s no better bro … I bet yo immune system and energy 2hrs after that energy drink is shitttt
@@raiderrick99 i bet you don’t know what you talking about. I only drink a monster when I first wake up to get my ass up 2 hours later I’m still good cause I don’t run while I’m selecting I found my own pace to keep my numbers at 109-115% at Publix and still be up when I get off work that’s just me.
@@SUNSHINESTATE904 diabetes is your future
Been at PFG for about 8 months now, went to freezer after first month
I remember being so nervous now I can walk a 100 easy
Still get bs batches ofc tho
We have a scanning unit which I think is better, get to have air pod in n just chill
Yeah you probably don't have to pull as many boxes if you're scanning.
Im the king in the box running a 150 2000 are more a night the name of the game is touch the case once and go
2 questions, 1 is that the finished wrap on the pallets, and 2 what warehouse is this? i just got a job at brookshires in the freezer warehouse, said ill be on a stand on pallet jack, and they use military alphabet on headsets.. im wanting to learn all i can before i go to training.. btw love your pallet stacking! Thanks for your video either way, be it brookshires or not, it was of great help!
Ya that's the finished wrap before it heads to the store. I can't say what warehouse but you may see some clues on a few of the boxes. I'm glad to have helped.
I never have worked as an order selector but just got hired and start orientation this week. Im nervous to select and don’t understand the stacking quite yet
No one does at first. It will come. Ask questions, watch others and try different strategies until you find what works for you.
Starting this job soon looks intimidating. Def want to get into the freezer though. Looks chill not many people bothering you
It is tough if you're not young or fit. But anyone can do it as long as you are mentally fit. Freezer is definitely chill. But I'd rather be in produce. Produce is on the night shift, and I like being able to do things after work.
@@xqeze I am young and fit. 18 almost 19 and i lift daily. I’m gonna be doing day shifts starting at 9
@@brka22 how you like it?
@@brka22 hows it going ?
its easy as hell bro once u get the hang of it the moneys been great@@Barbiehallway
Nice stacking bro
Question do you just wear the warehouse provided gloves or you brought some special thermal gloves to go under. I run percent just fine in cold and dry but when it comes to the freezer I’m stuck running low numbers because of my hands. By the time my fingers get numb there’s no way to bring my percent back up so just searching for some good advice on gloves to prevent this.
I wear 2 pairs in freezer when pulling and 3 when on a lift.
Is that somebody talking to you in the headset telling you what to pick? How does the headset work exactly? I was hoping of starting a job like this soon and was hoping I could listen to music or podcast and have one earbud in.
Most places allow bluetooth speakers but not earbuds. However, alot of places don't enforce the no earbud rule. I'm talking to a automated voice command system called talkman. It's a robot voice that tells me what to grab and where and tells me where to put it. I respond with commands and prompts so that it knows I did what it told me to do.
@@xqeze what about the quantity because sometime you grab 2 boxes
Hi! I just watched your whole video and was wondering were those numbers about?
I'm talking to my headset. It tells me where to grab a box and how many to grab. It will say 435 pick 1. Which means go to slot number 435 and grab 1 box. I respond with the number on the slot that is the check digit. Check digit is a two digit number to verify that you grabbed from the slot with the slot number the headset told me to grab from. Each slot will have 7 numbers on it. The first two are the aisle numbers, the next three are the slot number, and the last two are the confirmation number/check digit.
How do you know where to put your cases? Where I struggle. Building a pallet thank you for the video though
Instinct. Watch my how to stack and be fast video. It explains alot.
Good shit bro. What’s your cph if you don’t mind me asking? And what’s the recommended cph for your company. Thanks
It depends on the section. But freezer my average is about 250 cph but I can do alot better than that if i need to make up time. 250 cph is close to company standards 300cph in produce. But they don't measure In cph, it's based on time. Each case has a specific time given to grab it. I make time by grabbing it faster.
Freezer is the best place in the house. Been a freezer selector for 9 months now and dont wanna pick anywhere else in the warehouse. Its interesting to me that yall dont have to tell the talkman the quantity you just grabbed back to it
We say the check digit to confirm we grabbed what it said. Saying the quantity would be too redundant. Saying the quantity isn't going to change how much I grabbed.
@@xqeze fair enough. the way mine works is "64-7" "92" "pick one" "1". I get what your sayin though. Definitely less talking to just say the check digit
Yeah when I worked freezer at Walmart DC we said check digit and number they wanted.
I have interview for this posistion. I am excited af. Hopefully the suits at KeHe are good and I can stay warm. But I only have to pull 125 cases to meet my incentive pay. Base pay is $18/hr then its $21 when you meet productivity. (which is 135 dry, 125 frozen) Freezer gets extra $1.50/hr so $22.50 at 100%? Hopefully the incentives get higher.
@@liquidsunshine697it’s a huge ass DC that 125 cases an hour ain’t all that easy ., maybe I was handling the stickers a lot or not walking the jack ., but kehe dry 35 aisles bro ..
I love the freezer 🤙
Will this job help you lose weight? I got a job interview for this same job coming up. Also can you listen to music while you work?
It will help you lose weight at first and its a goodwork out. But if you increase your food intake to compensate for the extra energy you use, then you will not. Most people who do this become very fit. There are a couple that will just have very strong arms and legs with a big belly because they eat too much. I eat too much to maintain energy, but I gain almost 10 lbs on my days off because I don't slow down my eating when I don't need it. I'm not fat but you definitely can't see my abs.
Most places will let you have a bluetooth speaker. Alot of folks will also have airbuds but you are required to have 1 ear open. However, that rule is rarely enforced. There are some places that don't allow any music because it can distract from hearing people driving by you and could cause you to get run over.
I have an interview for this same job coming up, any tips for a newbie?
Focus on learning to build not on the speed. Speed will come when stacking boxes becomes instinct. Look through the comments in my videos there are many more tips in there. You must unlearn, what you have learned. Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.

Did you have to take a drug test when you got hired? I’m thinking of applying for a similar position.
Yes. But they don't do it at my warehouse anyway unless you get hurt. When I was hired they did a mouth swab test. It's only accurate if I had drank or smoked that day. But when I got hurt, they did a urine test. I don't drink or smoke so I was good. But many folks have to walk off their injuries or take vacation.
Lol we be high ass hell running 160 at in our freezer.....Just 1 rule "DONT GET HURT"
I was wondering what you pull on average bc most the time on here you’re walking what looks like a 130 pace in the freezer no less is impressive I bust my ass on dry running a 150 but I wanna get to be able to walk a 130 consistent
If you're talking percentage, then that would be meaningless unless we worked in the same warehouse. Standards are different everywhere. I pull an average of 250 to 270 cph in freezer. I was probably only pulling 250 cph in this video. Which comes to about 100% in my warehouse. If you want to walk you just need to be more efficient. Set the box and keep moving. If you fumble around with boxes in the upper slots, then get good with the case hook. To practice, i used to carry the case hook in one hand throughout an entire order. It can save you a lot of time if you can use it and still grab multiple boxes without going to put it back on your jack every time. Jack placement is huge too. Making sure your pallets are in the best position to eliminate unnecessary movement. I also am calling off boxes ahead of me so I already know where to go. All the little things add up.
Better to stack vertical columns or horizontal layers?
Sometimes. It depends on what you're stacking. Freezer boxes are light a stiff usually and in my freezer, there are few matching sizes. It is faster to column stack and you can get away with it in freezer. But I don't recommend column stacking in meat because the boxes are heavy and soft. But column stacking is the fastest way if you can get away with it without spilling or slowing down to keep it from spilling.
I would love to know what reach tool you are using. Thanks.
Our maintenance team custom makes them. They just take a steal rod then bend and smash the tip. They then weld on a tube at the top for a handle. Ill post a picture of one on the discord. I thought about trying to make some to sell. Because they are hand made each one is a little different and its hard to find one with a good weight and balance so once you have one you don't loose it. We call them case hooks.
btdisplaygroup.com/case-pick-hook-carton-of-6-28-22-each/ I found a similar style to what we use but you have to buy 6 of them and kinda pricy
It’s a pick stick
@williamthompson7741 Never heard pick stick before but we call it a case hook in America
Did for 3 months hated it
Not for everyone. You flippin burgers now?
As a trainer, I can't stand when cases are placed on their sides
especially when it is very clear that the box says, "This Side Up" or a ⬆️.
Regardless, I truly appreciate how hard people who Order Select work.
I try to do arrows up. In perishable this is not an issue for the most part. But in meat I know there is a four tie box that has a open top. If i stack on it then the product would smash and and my load would lean. But that is rare in perishable. However in freezer the boxes are so irregular it becomes impossible to make level surfaces to stack on without stacking on their side. As well there are several boxes that are stronger when stacked upside down. I recently started stacking as stated on box to keep people happy. But it results in basically a lot of column stacking that is unstable. Either suppliers need to have more standardized box sizes or sturdier boxes that it doesn't matter the side they are on. The only boxes that actually make sense to stack horribly for the sake of keeping arrows up is our frozen cake boxes. No body wants a cake with messed up frosting. I'm definitely on the fence with this issue and feel it is more a supplier and box manufacture issue than it is a order selector issue.
Is that one order on the 3 skids? This work looks like some modern day slavery. God damn!
No, it's just 2. Lol, yeah. Good pullers who have done this for a few years would probably be able to compete against real athletes. The people I work with are the hardest workers you can imagine. Even our lazy people are still very hard workers compared to normal people. We do this at this pace 8 to 15 hours a day. The more extreme of us can do this multiple days without sleep. I've seen some pull boxes for 48 hours straight. I've only made it 18 hours followed by 3 hours of sleep, then 18 more hours. I hit 100 hours that week.
Wasn’t for us modern day slavers y’all wouldn’t eat.
Good shit bro
Appreciate it
Starting freezer Tuesday bro at Walmart DC , whats your best piece of advice?
Slow is fast. Take your time learn how to stack first then focus on shaving time without running. Watch and learn from other pullers and your trainer. Each person has a strategy, pick and choose what's best for you.
Hows does it feel? I start freezer as well in the walmart dc and i start at $37
Ame of the warehouse i want to apply?
I'm not giving out the name until I get approval. But it's probably one of the largest grocery chains. If you want to do this work look for order selector jobs or order picker with the highest pay. I hear walmart incentive pay is very good but they don't have union. Union can provide job security but sometimes it can screw you. Look around and ask questions.
@@xqeze I understand and okay thank you
Does the person tell him what to get and how many?
There's a lady robot in my headset telling me what to grab and how many. I reply with the check digit of the slot and confirm that I grabbed the cases.
What kind of clothes u use to select in the freezer?
I wear thermal leggings, jeans, long sleeve t shirt, wool socks, carhart hoodie, beanie, cold weather suspender coveralls, 2 pairs of gloves, and cat boots. You don't want to be too warm though because once you start moving it can get a little hot. I try to sweat cause that will make you feel colder when you come back from break.
How tall are you man?
Tall enough lol. What are you getting at? 👀
@@xqeze I’m 5’8 and not sure if reaching things is going to be an issue.
@ethanbaker5987 I'm 5' 7" stuff in the back on top slot will be difficult. Either jump or get good with the case hook. I think the case hook is faster after you master it. If you have alot of upper slots you will get wore out quickly if you're jumping every couple slots. If pallet doesn't have alot you can slide out one corner, grab your case and push it back in.
@@xqeze ok thanks boss
The most annoying command to repeat "say again", I have order selector ptsd from hearing you say that lol.
Lol. Don't you love when you accidentally say it when you miss hear someone?
I was a landscaper and a drummer...ez pz
I've pissed uphill in snow and against the wind... np
I’m having trouble with stacking boxes. I can move fast but building the stacks is hard for me. Help me. I don’t wanna quit the job. I’m not a bitch
I made you a video that I hope helps it will be uploaded in a few hours. If you have questions after post a message on the discord and someone should answer it.
Nobody’s a b for trying
I’m first fytb
You get a brown star 🌟
Touching the cases to many times my boy , wasting way to much time, good stacking tho 💯
I'll touch my cases as much as I want 😌
bro i know you can stack better than that.
It's freezer I can stack much worse than that. It doesn't really matter in freezer. Everything is very light and the boxes are stiff.
The whole video calling out numbers is annoying im not watching
Who said you had to?
I enjoy these type videos but your shit just ass mute your call outs
Sounding like R2-D2
Must be your 1st day
@zipsog-5325 Yep, and it must be your time of the month.
