I was mainly assigned to the milk room, where I picked various milk types (half, full, and quarter gallons with different color caps), along with bacon and eggs. I operated a power jack to load store orders onto RTs (rider trucks), and we used headsets to accurately pick items. As a trainer, I also helped new employees learn how to use the equipment safely, understand the picking process, and maintain accuracy and speed.
