There are scanners and there's a system connected to the sales system that does a lot of the stock stuff automatically. Your manager will probably do the manual stuff but some places give just about anyone one, like Walmart. Mostly likely what will happen is there's a shipment. You distribute entirely or use carts to gather and take items to relevant places. Most of your job is rotating items and remembering where they go. Day stock is chill, night stock will probably have you busting your ass.

no but I do occasionally see them in their natural habitat when I visit the grocery store



if you just act normal and don't make any sudden movements they typically will just ignore you as they graze the shelves

the problem with day stock is the customers , plus you often have multiple duties.  I probably wouldve stayed if I didnt have to run the cash register too. but thats aldi's for you. and they are obsessed with efficiency. they even clock your ring up speed and post everyone's average speed in the break room

this rages me because you know the fastest checkers are the ones who scan shit rapid fire, don't help their bagger and ring them out before everything is bagged then they say "thank you have a nice day" while the bagger is stuck with 100 things to bag and they just move on to the next order
