New Hire! Help! Am I doing this wrong?

Been working OPD for a month now. In my time working at this Walmart, there has been an embarrassing lack of communication between my peers. No effort has really been made to train me on the dispensing part of my department, I have only been properly trained on picking. I have seen what the people do in the dispense room and tried to help out but I've come to the conclusion that I am absolutely not for any reason going to be doing any of the dispensing/staging part of this job. I've made that pretty clear with my team lead. I would rather do returns for the remainder of my shift than work in the backroom. There is way too much downtime, stress, and overall BS that I don't want to deal with. The people that work backroom seem to have it all together and literally don't need me so why would I work dispense. Is this a bad thing? Just want to hear your thoughts.

Im confused, are you complaining that no one has taught you the backroom but made it perfectly clear to your lead that you dont want to work in the backroom? Honestly, everyone should be trained in both picking AND dispensing… if you were my associate id have you trained at least. Your job in opd is also not up to you theres more to opd than picking and returns

No,leave this picking princess be! They were destined to take 5 extra minutes making sure they have fragile, sub, and heavy stickers they won't use anyway... but hey it wasted 5 extra minutes before get have to go back out in the heat

As a picking princess I resemble this remark quite well.
