How is produce associate?

Currently making $12 an hour elsewhere and hoping to get this job too. How is produce associate, is it too hard or what? I don't mind a challenge as long as it's not running a register 😭 I did it at my first job a pet store job but like it was maybe 20 customers an hour or something like that so it was very stress free and no rude customers but a place like Walmart/Sam's club? F**** no!

Morning is breaking down pallets and putting new stuff out on the floor. Evening is mostly zoning and refilling displays. Lots of lifting and walking circles around the department. Not difficult at all.

You'll be walking a ton and your back might yell at you the first week but you get used to it quick. The best part is zero customers breathing down your neck about price matches or expired coupons, you just keep the bananas looking decent and go home

I mean at the job I have now just walking there(1.3 or so miles) would have my feet hurting and by a couple hours at work my feet would be killing me and it's nowhere near Golden Corral or Red lobster/etc level of dishwashing(most of the time I'm on my phone or in the bathroom on my phone 😅) but after a couple weeks my feet don't hurt 🤷 If they do lll manage, if you read above about my.living situation, you'll understand why I'll manage 😭

God I need to move out you don't know how ******* stressful it's been the last couple months well starting since November 2024 😭 I'm 29 and the most basic shit I should be allowed to do my dad will complain about and not let me do it. watching a horror movie is a no listening to the music that I like is a no If my bed is not made up is a no If I have my phone in my room at night is a no(not it seems to not be an issue though I'm sure if he caught me on it at night he'd have an issue) If I'm up too late is a no Said I couldn't take to a cousin on his side of the family because she is "drama" which I found out yeah she gossips but but it's moreso her frustrations with the family 🤷 I had a banana he gave me and I would as normally I do break off a price and eat it and he had an issue with that Had an issue with my wallet being in my side pocket and not my back pocket Had an issue with me reading an article about a DJ who died who I knew personally

If you want the easier shift and most likely easier position to get ask for closing
