One thing i found easier for me was connecting my carton cutter (knife) to a retractable string thing that connects to my belt loop on my pants, so i just grab the knife, cut the box and let go of the knife and it just retacts back to my hip, instead of constantly geting it in and out of my pocket 😁
Was a stocker/night manager. Pretty laid back job if you can learn to ignore the store managers who want you to do the impossible. I loved working overnight because the night goes by so fast. That’s one of the things I miss, and the crew we had some great times. Just beware of the sacrifice you make by taking on a night job this demanding I wouldn’t recommend it if you have a social life lol.
Jay. What do I need to say on my resume to get into working at Winco? What are the "trigger" words the system uses? Any help would be great. I currently work part time for Lowes and need more hours. I have tremendous work ethic
Jay Starling eh, i’m currently an overnight manager and I have a really active social life. It’s doable. Being a big hockey fan I played on 3 different hockey teams and currently running my own business. While also having time for family parties and hanging out with friends. I also picked up extra hours in different stores. I love the overnight, exactly for the reasons you listed.
No the manager was a DICK lol it was only my second night the first night he was just a moron the guy that hired me was cool but the night manager was a Fuck head my wife laughed wow that was quick I have a drug test too too tomorrow new warehouse days
That's what I need to learn how to do. It seems I don't have it in me to ignore those crazy bastards managers, but others do. So I should be able to do it as well. I just don't know how,? Please help. I really like this job, but these managers are beyond irrational borderline crazy with their expectations of a new hire. Specially in a store that has been improperly stocked for years! Nothing is where it belongs. So you spend enormous amounts of time relocating items to their correct location before you can even think about your department.
I was an overnight stocker for three years overnight support for two and day time support for one. Good tips bro...always stay positive stay clean and have fun.
I switched from 2nd shift to overnight, I would definitely say the hardest part is outside of work (sleep schedule, appointments, events, etc...) after a month of overnight I am already looking to switch back to 2nd shift. Personally the overnight bonus was not worth it however experiences will vary by person. I'd recommend trying to make friends with co-workers and bring your music it will make your night go by much faster.
My stocker job I'm getting ready to start begins at 4:00 a.m. until noon ish. Depends on the store and the location but not all are overnight. But I'd want 2nd over 3rd.
This was really helpful as I'm interviewing for this position tomorrow at H-E-B and trying to learn as much as possible about the job to be the best Partner possible. Thank you Cristofer!
@@WiseCheese587 you want to keep good pace, but also learn the best way to open certain cases we have some things like broth where you can open the backside and push it directly omto the shelf saving lots of time.
Cristofer Vidz I hear ya. But when you get the load finished they're happy but then they go and find expired stuff so it's tough to do the job quick and correct

I work the gm side of grocery but I do the code dates for both grocery and general merch. Man the amount of expired I find on the grocery side is ridiculous. If it wasnt for me some people would have expired food from my store.
Quick heads up is that being able to work out and go to the gym is possible but makes work a little harder. I only work with two other people every night and we’re on a time limit so it does affect things
I'm glad I found your channel. 5"2' overweight (with this job perhaps for not much longer, LOL), mid thirties and mother of two toddlers. I start next Wednesday and I am petrified. I hope by reading other comments and continuing to watch your videos that it will give me the attitude I need to be amazing at this job. I hear a lot about sleeping a lot... its not going to happen for me with watching my children during the day until my husband gets home from work!!
@@Jaz-32 the only time height might effect you is when your going for top shelf’s or doing risers but you could get a step stool or do the good old climbing method
@@Thecaster4545 alot of UD and managers forbid a partner from climbing on the shelves as it increases risk of falling and also you can damage the shelves easily depending on what part you step on. Which blows my mind when a 6foot stock controller walks your aisle, steps on a stool and says. "Oh you missed all of this on the riser" meanwhile all that backstock is tucked up in the back of the riser and expects you to each the items. Like get outta here. Lmao
I actually start a overnight shift tonight. I am super nervous about it since I never been a stocker or overnight. Your advice and a lot of the comments are super helpful in making me feel confident going in. Thanks! 😁
I'm the Assistant Crew Chief at a Hannaford's and its interesting to me how literally exactly the same the job is from place to place lol. Same problems, same skill curve and high turnover. I swear overnight stockers is a secret society. All you have to say is you're an overnight stocker to someone else who does the job and all of the pain is suddenly mutually understood. TLDR: Love your vids m8.
I start training tomorrow first shift on stocking dairy then I will be 3rd after two days of training on first. I just hope to know everything when it comes to cases and all that like hope I get it fast! Thanks for the video even years later it still helps so much!
I am a former stocker and wanted to do something similar like a live stream. I and others take stocking seriously. It’s an art form. You have to get rest during the day or the work will catch up to eventually. This was a great video!
this goings to be one my favorite video from you i like because you s plain first day working and grocery night stocking good sample and i will share you video we my coworker and other stores
I just got the job and start in about 2 weeks at HEB the benefits sound amazing for full timers and the start pay is good and the fact that it can get up 19/hr based off of performance is even better! The only thing is the interviewers really tried to scare me out of the job and made it sound really hard and now I'm super nervous! I'm not exactly a fast learner I hope they are pretty easy going with beginners who make mistakes
@@renesalinas8397 sucks ass dude ngl I transfered departments after a year and half. The department is constantly losing people and it's a lot of hard work that ends up on you if you stay. You don't leave til the job is done and if you DO decide to leave before the job is done like let's say you work 8-4, if you leave at 4 and the work still isn't done (99% of the time it isnt) they will be passive aggressive towards you and schedule you less or isolate you. This has happened to most people who work the department. Your body will hurt like hell, no sleep, feel like shit all the time, the scheduling is random each week so you never know if you are going to work 5 days on 2 days off or some I've seen 4 days off but then they work 10 days in a row! The only plus side, for my store at least, you get a shit ton of hours because we are always understaffed so you have to pick up the work load for those who aren't there. My friends are hitting 70+ hours every week. It's also near impossible to move up beyond stock controller which most people don't want that responsibility anyways for an extra $1. Once they see you are good, they will never let you go because a good stocker is hard to come by. Another positive though is I've seen people go from $15/hr to $20/hr in 2 years or less. But the reason they did this at my store is because so many people were leaving and they were doing everything to keep the stockers that they did still have. The nights are always long, you will almost always be working 10+ hrs a day which doesn't sound bad until you realize how much of a toll it takes on your body and mental health. The veteran stockers I know who have worked there making 20÷ are ready to call it quits because managers are never happy, if you are still stocking when the store opens no matter the circumstances, they don't care. They will literally tell you "it's not hard, it's easy, why aren't you guys done?! You guys need to work faster" it just completely diminishes morale to where even 20/hr isn't even enough to keep the staff. I understand now why they tried to scare me during the interview. I've even seen people quit 4hrs into their shift. However if you do plan on sticking it out, my advice to you to get a good raises (which you get every 6 months until you hit midpoint btw) and a good reputation is to focus on speed speed speed! It's important to learn where everything is yes and they will tell you that, but I promise they care more about speed and accuracy over you memorizing aisles. And by accuracy I mean placing the items in the correct spots on the shelf. Just bring headphones and go HAM when stocking (throwing) they will be very impressed with you if they see how fast you are with everything they do because like most places, everyone hates training people because it slows the team down so just do your best bro! GL! If you want to transfer and still want to work overnight I highly recommend TSST
Got an interview for overnight stocking at Meijer today. These videos are helping me out so when i start (im confident ill get the job) i can have some sense of what to expect. Thanks a lot man
Nice editing! To add to the tips for stocking, rotate food items. New products go in the back of the shelve, old gets pushed foward. Also use proper form when lifting anything heavy that's. Thats super important. When i did overnight stocking, so many people would complain about back pain. Try and take care of yourself, dont run yourself into the ground working this job. It can be strenuous, and working at night is another challenge. Eat healthy, if possible, drink plenty of water while working and dont skip out on sleep! Working while sleepy sucks ass! Caffeine will be your best friend. Im sure during closed hours youll be able to listing to music. Listen to podcast if you havent before , theirs such a hugh variety podcast to keep you entertained. I always recommend The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, endless amounts of great guests from various backgrounds, very informative and interesting. Good luck!
OhMaiPhuckingGawd I wish you could load the shelf from the back. That would cut down on time it takes to rotate. I think stores should be set up that way.
That's not ideal because having shelves back to back cuts down on space. The stores would have to be twice as large in order to do that, plus you'd only have shelves on one side of each isle.
Rotating is nessacary if store doesn't do much volume but where I work shelves clear in 2-3 days so I dont rotate usually takes experience though to master this
@@TPFAM1LY Terrible, I have anxiety issues and had a slight panic attack and threw up. They thought I was making it all up and I didn't get to come back after that.
thank you so much i was going to look for a overnight job and since im not from the United States and my english isnt 100% with speaking euhm well i wasnt quit sure what this would mean i mean ive done stocking before but that was only stocking notting else, like no cashiering, counting or anything and was on a benefit wich i got epelepsy so a memory issue, anyway you made me feel so much more confident in getting a job like this
Gloves, i found i needed decent gloves, upwards of 250-300 boxes you can easily wear the skin on your hands. Boxes are dry, absorbs the moisture in your hands, can crack the skin. Plus paper cuts and shit.
Some guys wear gym workout gloves, flexible motorcycle gloves, couple others been using disposable nitrile gloves. Never liked the disposable aspect myself.
I can't believe it's been 5 months 3 months since I been working at Walmart I tell you its a amazing experience I don't work overnight I work 2 till 11 I look at my upc numbers and all do top stock work the trucks easy for me
At my store the dayshift unloads the truck and places food and health/beauty on different pallets , then they stock the shelves until their shift is over. I work evenings, so I try to finish the pallets and also stock the reach-in drink cooler. Then I am also responsible to take out the trash and cardboard and sweep and mop the WHOLE store at closing.
i used to be an overnight stocker at pick n save and i had a love hate relationship. some days were fun and some were horrible. sometimes 2 or 3 guys on a 1400 piece load and facing the store. i since left pick n save for a way better paying nursing job in a hospital. i made some good memories there :)
SkaterAjui yeaa bro!! i know i wont be herr long ! but i kmow i can come back and watch all thses videos!! big shout oit to all your nursing crew bro!!
I break down the load every night second shift , get the shit sorted on pallets (trucks/u-boats, whatever you guys call em lol) Overnight used to handle breaking down the load/stocking the entirety of the day's load but with me on second shift getting it broken down and getting a few aisles stocked and out the way with I like to think it helps. One stocker to another!
Newbie questions for experienced folks Does "LV" refer to "Live"? What is meant by a "double truck"? Two trucks per night? What is "blocking"? Lining up rows? What is "double facing" Bringing more than one row of product to the front? In grocery aisles too narrow for a skid, does pre-spotting improve or hurt speed?
Double truck means you have one grocery truck come and drop their load off. Then a second truck comes with more shit to stock. It’s a pain in the ass. Especially if you work for Walmart. Now I’m working at Winn-Dixie as a overnight manager. I love the system Walmart has for grocery stocking. Winn-Dixie is so difficult. Also, many companies will watch to see who the best is out of the crew and they will use you until you go nuts. But if you can’t get past the stocking part, it pays off. Especially a store merchandise manager. Then becoming a store manager. Most store managers started off in the grocery department. My guess is because you’re always around people interacting with them and work at the same time. That shows the bosses above you that you can work under being distracted and also showing great customer service at the same time.
i don't work stocking at a grocery store; but i work overnights at a warehouse assembly job. 7pm-7am and yes i agree; sleep is the biggest key. i have been doing this for about a year now. i usually sleep from like 10am to like 4pm. Make sure. you shower and eat a well balanced meal before your shift so you are not hungry af like an hour into it. I don't get a break for 3-4 hours into my shift.
Thinking about applying at heb for night stocking I’m nervous as hell tho not to sure if I want to I’m a night person so Ik staying up won’t really be a big problem
MekoXIII bro dont worry about speed in the begining !! worry about memorizing wherr things go and stocking correctly! the speed will come to you as u keep doing your job trust me!! i was slow at first now i can hang with the fast stockers in my store!! you got this bro!!! dont overthink !!! we are here for you bro!
Glad to hear that, I'm starting my first ever retail job after working in a glass shop(my only previous job experience) for 12 years. I'll be doing what MekoXIII is doing with dairy and meat, but my shift is 1:30pm to 10pm. It's definitely going to be a learning experience for sure.
They want you to be fast but they also want you to do a good neat job and be accurate. Quantity and quality. You gotta decide the pace you work at in order to get the job done at their standards.
In dairy you have to work smart and understand how to downstack and sort the pallets because they are mixed with deli and meat. Know where everything belong and sort on different pallets. Zone zone zone
I have EEEEEEXXXXXXTTTTRRRRREEEEEMMMEEE anxiety about getting my first job coz I’m not the greatest at math like I can do it but the anxiety and stuff just trips me up I’m so nervous but think a good starting place is working as a stocker at Walmart but I don’t wanna mess anything up
ItzJustKris bro no matter where or what job we get we have to mess up a bit in order to learn ! And believe me I can’t do math I not very good at it at all, and don’t stress believe it or not I am really nervous to talk to people I don’t know either ,. It’s hard but you can do it bro!
Everyone has anxiety bro it's just learning to manage it. They not going to fire you because you can't count, but they want to see you learn from your mistakes and not make the same mistake over and over.
This makes me excited! I'm starting a night stocking position next week never done it before a little nervous but I'm a fast multitasker with a pretty good 👁️. I've always wondered how night stockers got their jobs thought it looked like key kinda fun ! Although the sleep part will be a challenge I have a baby and teenagers eeeee...
Great job on making a UA-cam channel for this stuff! I had been thinking of starting something like this back in the day but never did...but am glad someone else has! I haven't watched many of your videos, but will watch more and will suggest things that may add to improving workflow in the comments. For instance, the section with you guys breaking down the pallets...your team mates are going so slow: get those dudes to sweat! ;) I can also understand that you have what looks like a difficult area to break down: all linear with constricted mobility. :( At the last place I worked, they liked to do something like that (and they also broke down onto pallets). I found this place between the meat bunkers where we broke stuff down, and there was enough room to have four pallets on either side with two full ones in the middle. It gave the shortest route possible to each empty pallet, and as they filled up, I had another guy (or myself) spot the built-up pallet while dropping a new empty one, then bringing out two more to break down. On the days that I was in charge, it took two of us less time to do it than it took four of us to do the same the other way. It's just all about constant improvement in technique with these jobs: as long as you have your head on straight, you'll keep getting better and better, I would say to anyone listening.
80 cases an hour in insane. I’m the Assistant Grocery Manager at Sprouts Farmers Market and their expectation for day stockers is 40-60 CPH. We actually don’t even do night stocking since we’re a low-volume store. I probably do in fact throw 80 CPH but that’s because I order our trucks, know what I ordered, can identify most products just based off of the box, and know where everything goes. Our CPH is a little lower due to the amount of customer service we do (lots of customers ask for assistance with reaching and locating products, etc.) but I can see why new employees at these higher-volume stores would be intimidated with starting out. Good tips, man!
Well my first day is tonight and I'm a bit nervous cuz at my interview the manager kept telling me how hard of a job it is and how he's had athletes like rugby players quit on him but I'ma go in with a positive attitude and a good days rest with some fully charged headphones and kick some ass!! I'll come back and update this post to share what my first day was like when I'm off.
SMD TV bro kill it !!!! Those guys are just trying to get into his head !!! You will see bro , if you go in with the right mindset and learn from your vets you will be the fastest kat ever bro 🤘trust me
So I just got off like an hour ago and it was hard work I think I was a little slow but I worked my ass off and did the best I could so if anybody is reading this and thinking about doing night stocking at HEB be prepared to work and drink lots of water other than that it's a good job!!
Tomorrow I start. At Walmart doing dry groceries N GM STOCK first time working for Walmart but I hope this video works for me and give me tips wish me luck
it’s a fking nightmare. I had an abusive boss and would just berate me when shit wasn’t right, even just things like not forward enough. i’d rather die than work this job
@@notahamster333 I didn't hold that job for very long but I learned some tips along the way. Everything homie said on this video is the key to good stocking and keep a store full. Don't put too much time into one area, keep stocking but don't overstock & just keep yourself busy until its time to go!!! I enjoyed stocking because I was around cool people whom taught me some tricks. But I found a more well paying job at one of the biggest hospitals in my state so I left. Good luck & have fun!!
The store I work at could do a lot better job organizing us night workers. after sorting everything off pallets they send everyone to one aisle and we work our way down. problem is everybody just gets in each others way. I'd love to work an aisle by myself. Also We aren't allowed to leave boxes on the shelves like at 6:50 makes stocking and blocking take longer. Idk what our CPH is but it's not even close to 80 with the way we do things now.
That’s what I’m struggling with the most is breaking down the pallets putting whatever items belong in my aisle. It’s like my 6th night at Walmart and sometimes I just ant to throw in the towel. I’ve done home healthcare since I was 18 I’m definitely not use to this
Use this job to start something else bro dont feel stuck. Save, invest and invest again theres sooooo many jobs out there to do without an education (school)
I just got a job as an overnight stocker at Walmart and I’m starting to get nervous because every video is so negative except this one! I will watch your videos! Thx for giving out your knowledge!
I’m literally typing this 5 years later but I go for a interview tommorow and need to know what question they ask you at the interview and stuff I have work at a pallet place for like 5 years and it got shutdown like 5 months ago so looking for a new job and I have been on a diet and lost 13 pounds already so I have go the healty part going right now
Just subbed ❤ starting my overnight stocking job tomorrow I've been a landscaper for 3 years so it'll be an interesting change I appreciate all the info!!
i work at a nightfill job 9pm till 6am and we not allowed phones or music unless we are on break, it drives me NUTS like its literally just a few others and i and they still wont allow it
I’m about to do overnight stocking at Walmart 4am-9am, I’m not really nervous Because I try not to be with anything, I wonder if it’s complicated or not
Nice brother !! It’s not really complicated but a lot of memorization does come into play , learning boxes and isles , along with learning where the product goes , you will get it brother
I want to work night stocker at my local Safeway (only work I can fit into my schedule) but I’m worried they won’t hire me since I’m 5’1”. Sent in my application but haven’t heard back yet
Wow... Well yalls heb seems a lot more efficient. Where im at as soon as we clock in we immediately start downstacking the truck into the aisles. Then when we are done everyone goes to LV and separates the pallets based on the aisle then we downstack those and then when thats done we empty the carts from the backstock. But basically once you are done stocking completely you do the riser and then block it.
I've just started and already getting pressured to move faster even if the job is not done right. I'm consistently finding staff mistakes in aisles and sometimes the only way to put fresh product out is to remove several rows of product that had been put in its spot when it's not meant to be there 😖
Same... I was getting pressured today to move faster . Either way I got things done..I just gotta learn my over stock and know when things will be over stocked or not so I won’t have to try to stock it so the process will be faster
im 21 now, i started night stock after graduating in 2021 and taking a gap year. ive been working it for 2 years now and love it man, put on headphones and a podcast and just go on autopilot. no uniform, no case count in the winter, lifes good dawg. love this job.

Music is key🔑 as a stocker. If they don't allow headphones just blare it through your phones speaker

I wish the store shelves were set up so you can stock from the back of the shelf to cut down on time it takes to rotate product.

I work the gm side of grocery but I do the code dates for both grocery and general merch. Man the amount of expired I find on the grocery side is ridiculous. If it wasnt for me some people would have expired food from my store.
I have a new guy starting in a few days and his homework is to watch your videos ! Thanks Haynes like the underwear ! Stay safe
David Haynes wow awesome!!! thank you for telling them bout our channel ! this is a channel we can all come talk and learn from eachother ! 😀
Quick heads up is that being able to work out and go to the gym is possible but makes work a little harder. I only work with two other people every night and we’re on a time limit so it does affect things
I'm glad I found your channel. 5"2' overweight (with this job perhaps for not much longer, LOL), mid thirties and mother of two toddlers. I start next Wednesday and I am petrified. I hope by reading other comments and continuing to watch your videos that it will give me the attitude I need to be amazing at this job. I hear a lot about sleeping a lot... its not going to happen for me with watching my children during the day until my husband gets home from work!!
Do u stock and does your height affect you I’m 5’4
@@Jaz-32 the only time height might effect you is when your going for top shelf’s or doing risers but you could get a step stool or do the good old climbing method
You still slinging freight?
@@Thecaster4545 alot of UD and managers forbid a partner from climbing on the shelves as it increases risk of falling and also you can damage the shelves easily depending on what part you step on. Which blows my mind when a 6foot stock controller walks your aisle, steps on a stool and says. "Oh you missed all of this on the riser" meanwhile all that backstock is tucked up in the back of the riser and expects you to each the items. Like get outta here. Lmao
I actually start a overnight shift tonight. I am super nervous about it since I never been a stocker or overnight. Your advice and a lot of the comments are super helpful in making me feel confident going in. Thanks! 😁
I appreciate you !!! We are here to help!!! I hope you do good bro ! Let us know how it goes !
I'm the Assistant Crew Chief at a Hannaford's and its interesting to me how literally exactly the same the job is from place to place lol. Same problems, same skill curve and high turnover. I swear overnight stockers is a secret society. All you have to say is you're an overnight stocker to someone else who does the job and all of the pain is suddenly mutually understood. TLDR: Love your vids m8.
+djseraphis yeaa bro!!! We all on the same boat here !! 😁
I start training tomorrow first shift on stocking dairy then I will be 3rd after two days of training on first. I just hope to know everything when it comes to cases and all that like hope I get it fast! Thanks for the video even years later it still helps so much!
I am a former stocker and wanted to do something similar like a live stream. I and others take stocking seriously. It’s an art form. You have to get rest during the day or the work will catch up to eventually.
This was a great video!
I got hired man lol thanks for your video's gave me the inside scoop to master this skill.
sheoop lasios hell yea bro 🤘awesome !!! Thanks !
this goings to be one my favorite video from you i like because you s plain first day working and grocery night stocking good sample and i will share you video we my coworker and other stores
I just got the job and start in about 2 weeks at HEB the benefits sound amazing for full timers and the start pay is good and the fact that it can get up 19/hr based off of performance is even better! The only thing is the interviewers really tried to scare me out of the job and made it sound really hard and now I'm super nervous! I'm not exactly a fast learner I hope they are pretty easy going with beginners who make mistakes
how was or is it bro i start tomorrow
@@renesalinas8397 sucks ass dude ngl I transfered departments after a year and half. The department is constantly losing people and it's a lot of hard work that ends up on you if you stay. You don't leave til the job is done and if you DO decide to leave before the job is done like let's say you work 8-4, if you leave at 4 and the work still isn't done (99% of the time it isnt) they will be passive aggressive towards you and schedule you less or isolate you. This has happened to most people who work the department. Your body will hurt like hell, no sleep, feel like shit all the time, the scheduling is random each week so you never know if you are going to work 5 days on 2 days off or some I've seen 4 days off but then they work 10 days in a row!
The only plus side, for my store at least, you get a shit ton of hours because we are always understaffed so you have to pick up the work load for those who aren't there. My friends are hitting 70+ hours every week. It's also near impossible to move up beyond stock controller which most people don't want that responsibility anyways for an extra $1. Once they see you are good, they will never let you go because a good stocker is hard to come by. Another positive though is I've seen people go from $15/hr to $20/hr in 2 years or less. But the reason they did this at my store is because so many people were leaving and they were doing everything to keep the stockers that they did still have. The nights are always long, you will almost always be working 10+ hrs a day which doesn't sound bad until you realize how much of a toll it takes on your body and mental health. The veteran stockers I know who have worked there making 20÷ are ready to call it quits because managers are never happy, if you are still stocking when the store opens no matter the circumstances, they don't care. They will literally tell you "it's not hard, it's easy, why aren't you guys done?! You guys need to work faster" it just completely diminishes morale to where even 20/hr isn't even enough to keep the staff.
I understand now why they tried to scare me during the interview. I've even seen people quit 4hrs into their shift.
However if you do plan on sticking it out, my advice to you to get a good raises (which you get every 6 months until you hit midpoint btw) and a good reputation is to focus on speed speed speed! It's important to learn where everything is yes and they will tell you that, but I promise they care more about speed and accuracy over you memorizing aisles. And by accuracy I mean placing the items in the correct spots on the shelf. Just bring headphones and go HAM when stocking (throwing) they will be very impressed with you if they see how fast you are with everything they do because like most places, everyone hates training people because it slows the team down so just do your best bro! GL! If you want to transfer and still want to work overnight I highly recommend TSST

Nice editing! To add to the tips for stocking, rotate food items. New products go in the back of the shelve, old gets pushed foward. Also use proper form when lifting anything heavy that's. Thats super important. When i did overnight stocking, so many people would complain about back pain. Try and take care of yourself, dont run yourself into the ground working this job. It can be strenuous, and working at night is another challenge. Eat healthy, if possible, drink plenty of water while working and dont skip out on sleep! Working while sleepy sucks ass! Caffeine will be your best friend. Im sure during closed hours youll be able to listing to music. Listen to podcast if you havent before , theirs such a hugh variety podcast to keep you entertained. I always recommend The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, endless amounts of great guests from various backgrounds, very informative and interesting. Good luck!
OhMaiPhuckingGawd thanks for the input and helping out all the stockers here bro!!
OhMaiPhuckingGawd I wish you could load the shelf from the back. That would cut down on time it takes to rotate. I think stores should be set up that way.

That's not ideal because having shelves back to back cuts down on space. The stores would have to be twice as large in order to do that, plus you'd only have shelves on one side of each isle.
Rotating is nessacary if store doesn't do much volume but where I work shelves clear in 2-3 days so I dont rotate usually takes experience though to master this
Just got hired this week at an HEB in Pharr. Really helpful video man.
Been out the game for a few months, going back to it smh lol. I love it though, it's a great workout

Gloves, i found i needed decent gloves, upwards of 250-300 boxes you can easily wear the skin on your hands. Boxes are dry, absorbs the moisture in your hands, can crack the skin. Plus paper cuts and shit.
Some guys wear gym workout gloves, flexible motorcycle gloves, couple others been using disposable nitrile gloves.
Never liked the disposable aspect myself.

How did it go ???
Thanks for the vid man. I'ma be nightstocker at new Krogers. Appreciated on the beginners guide.
At my store the dayshift unloads the truck and places food and health/beauty on different pallets , then they stock the shelves until their shift is over. I work evenings, so I try to finish the pallets and also stock the reach-in drink cooler. Then I am also responsible to take out the trash and cardboard and sweep and mop the WHOLE store at closing.
Most frustrating is how the pallets are a mix and match method.
they should create the pallets with matching items and matching aisles
If they knew how your store looked they probably would, but they don't lol
i worked snacks and id literally have chit on my pallet that was like 10 aisles away and also petr stuff- wtf
@@ivansvalker7025 i hear ya but thats an easy fix its 2050 and we cant get a product lay out of isles

Newbie questions for experienced folks
Does "LV" refer to "Live"?
What is meant by a "double truck"? Two trucks per night?
What is "blocking"? Lining up rows?
What is "double facing" Bringing more than one row of product to the front?
In grocery aisles too narrow for a skid, does pre-spotting improve or hurt speed?
LV means Low Velocity Double truck im not sure ?? lol
Double truck means you have one grocery truck come and drop their load off. Then a second truck comes with more shit to stock. It’s a pain in the ass. Especially if you work for Walmart. Now I’m working at Winn-Dixie as a overnight manager. I love the system Walmart has for grocery stocking. Winn-Dixie is so difficult. Also, many companies will watch to see who the best is out of the crew and they will use you until you go nuts. But if you can’t get past the stocking part, it pays off. Especially a store merchandise manager. Then becoming a store manager. Most store managers started off in the grocery department. My guess is because you’re always around people interacting with them and work at the same time. That shows the bosses above you that you can work under being distracted and also showing great customer service at the same time.
i don't work stocking at a grocery store; but i work overnights at a warehouse assembly job. 7pm-7am and yes i agree; sleep is the biggest key. i have been doing this for about a year now. i usually sleep from like 10am to like 4pm. Make sure. you shower and eat a well balanced meal before your shift so you are not hungry af like an hour into it. I don't get a break for 3-4 hours into my shift.
What do you assemble?

Glad to hear that, I'm starting my first ever retail job after working in a glass shop(my only previous job experience) for 12 years. I'll be doing what MekoXIII is doing with dairy and meat, but my shift is 1:30pm to 10pm. It's definitely going to be a learning experience for sure.
bulletburposmiley just go in with the right mind set and u got it bro!
They want you to be fast but they also want you to do a good neat job and be accurate. Quantity and quality. You gotta decide the pace you work at in order to get the job done at their standards.
In dairy you have to work smart and understand how to downstack and sort the pallets because they are mixed with deli and meat. Know where everything belong and sort on different pallets. Zone zone zone
I have EEEEEEXXXXXXTTTTRRRRREEEEEMMMEEE anxiety about getting my first job coz I’m not the greatest at math like I can do it but the anxiety and stuff just trips me up I’m so nervous but think a good starting place is working as a stocker at Walmart but I don’t wanna mess anything up
ItzJustKris bro no matter where or what job we get we have to mess up a bit in order to learn ! And believe me I can’t do math I not very good at it at all, and don’t stress believe it or not I am really nervous to talk to people I don’t know either ,. It’s hard but you can do it bro!
Everyone has anxiety bro it's just learning to manage it. They not going to fire you because you can't count, but they want to see you learn from your mistakes and not make the same mistake over and over.

Update on the job
Great job on making a UA-cam channel for this stuff! I had been thinking of starting something like this back in the day but never did...but am glad someone else has!
I haven't watched many of your videos, but will watch more and will suggest things that may add to improving workflow in the comments. For instance, the section with you guys breaking down the pallets...your team mates are going so slow: get those dudes to sweat! ;) I can also understand that you have what looks like a difficult area to break down: all linear with constricted mobility. :(
At the last place I worked, they liked to do something like that (and they also broke down onto pallets). I found this place between the meat bunkers where we broke stuff down, and there was enough room to have four pallets on either side with two full ones in the middle. It gave the shortest route possible to each empty pallet, and as they filled up, I had another guy (or myself) spot the built-up pallet while dropping a new empty one, then bringing out two more to break down. On the days that I was in charge, it took two of us less time to do it than it took four of us to do the same the other way.
It's just all about constant improvement in technique with these jobs: as long as you have your head on straight, you'll keep getting better and better, I would say to anyone listening.
80 cases an hour in insane. I’m the Assistant Grocery Manager at Sprouts Farmers Market and their expectation for day stockers is 40-60 CPH. We actually don’t even do night stocking since we’re a low-volume store. I probably do in fact throw 80 CPH but that’s because I order our trucks, know what I ordered, can identify most products just based off of the box, and know where everything goes. Our CPH is a little lower due to the amount of customer service we do (lots of customers ask for assistance with reaching and locating products, etc.) but I can see why new employees at these higher-volume stores would be intimidated with starting out. Good tips, man!
Hey man. Thanks. Glad I found your channel. I'm new. But I am good. This is how we learn
Well my first day is tonight and I'm a bit nervous cuz at my interview the manager kept telling me how hard of a job it is and how he's had athletes like rugby players quit on him but I'ma go in with a positive attitude and a good days rest with some fully charged headphones and kick some ass!!

Rule of thumb don't spend more than a minute a case that includes stocking it breaking down the cardboard and have the next case in hand.

The store I work at could do a lot better job organizing us night workers. after sorting everything off pallets they send everyone to one aisle and we work our way down. problem is everybody just gets in each others way. I'd love to work an aisle by myself. Also We aren't allowed to leave boxes on the shelves like at 6:50 makes stocking and blocking take longer. Idk what our CPH is but it's not even close to 80 with the way we do things now.

I'm having a problem with stockers not rotating product what is the best way to rotate before stocking?
Question.........how many pallets are you breaking down in the beginning of your shift?

Whats up? Im old school ON grocery and Walmart.
I’m a warehouse stocker for a Chinese food supplier, I have a night shift Friday from 11pm to 8am I’m stoked to get paid for it, any advice?
Have you ever done this before bro ?? That sounds like fun 🤔🤔
What about females stockers is it as hard as males ???
Just subbed ❤ starting my overnight stocking job tomorrow I've been a landscaper for 3 years so it'll be an interesting change I appreciate all the info!!
i work at a nightfill job 9pm till 6am and we not allowed phones or music unless we are on break, it drives me NUTS like its literally just a few others and i and they still wont allow it
I’m about to do overnight stocking at Walmart 4am-9am, I’m not really nervous Because I try not to be with anything, I wonder if it’s complicated or not
Nice brother !! It’s not really complicated but a lot of memorization does come into play , learning boxes and isles , along with learning where the product goes , you will get it brother
4 to 9, is that part time?
probably be working with a lot of assholes just ignore them
Awesome video! Just got hired today.
I want to work night stocker at my local Safeway (only work I can fit into my schedule) but I’m worried they won’t hire me since I’m 5’1”. Sent in my application but haven’t heard back yet
Wow... Well yalls heb seems a lot more efficient. Where im at as soon as we clock in we immediately start downstacking the truck into the aisles. Then when we are done everyone goes to LV and separates the pallets based on the aisle then we downstack those and then when thats done we empty the carts from the backstock. But basically once you are done stocking completely you do the riser and then block it.
I wonder how does short people work as merchandiser? lol do they use ladder to reach top shelves?
i do exactly all of this at my local grocery store, but i only make $10hr and there are only like 6 employees at night😭😣
April M I’m just getting out of work 🧐 where are you working 🤔
How do you know which lv item goes on which boat before taking the boat to the aile?
We have to memorize all of the isles it took me a couple of months to rememeber the whole store and all the boxes
I've just started and already getting pressured to move faster even if the job is not done right. I'm consistently finding staff mistakes in aisles and sometimes the only way to put fresh product out is to remove several rows of product that had been put in its spot when it's not meant to be there 😖
Hi how is it going for you?
Same... I was getting pressured today to move faster . Either way I got things done..I just gotta learn my over stock and know when things will be over stocked or not so I won’t have to try to stock it so the process will be faster
I'll be starting to work as an attendant and stock boy next monday. Wish me luck. greetings from Brazil. :3
southern Traveller hello Brazil!!! Where will you be working bro!?
How's it going so far?
any tips i’m gonna be working as a overnight stocker soon 💪🏻
Interesting how diff they break down the pallets vs Winco Foods which I did for 5 yrs
Starting tonight, wish me luck!
hope it went good for you bro !!!
