u/Substantial-Half-814

I was picking today, and one of the tote runners (the people that refill the empty totes) came up to my station after watching me put an item in a tote.

The tote was already about 85–90% full, and it was a bunch of the same items stacked up. I gently pushed the items down so they weren’t sticking up above the tote because I didn’t want it to end up overfilled.

He walked up with an attitude and told me, “Only push it down when it pops up with the orange light, and only fill the tote 100% full to make my job easier.”
I just said “okay” because I wasn’t trying to argue, but this is actually the second time I’ve had an interaction with this same person.

From what I understand, Amazon doesn’t want totes packed so full that items are sticking out or overflowing, so I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong. It sounded more like he wanted me to do it his way because it helps him.

Was I actually in the wrong here, or was he just telling me his personal preference? What would you have done?

The problems it has
-needs rear and front sway bar links, you hear clunking when going over bumps)

- needs front left control arm

- A/C does not work.

but some of the fun features it has: bose sound system, sun roof, leather seats, cruise control, heated seats..

Bought a 2025 Hyundai Sonata that was previously a dealer demo car. I purchased it with about 3,700 miles on it and currently have 6,576 miles.

The service sticker says 5/18/26, which has already passed. Looking at the CARFAX, I see oil changes listed on 11/13/25 (at 4,457 miles) and again on 12/30/25, but CARFAX doesn’t show the mileage for the 12/30 service.

The oil is about 5-6 months old now, but I have no idea how many miles are actually on it because I don’t know the mileage from that last oil change.

Would you change the oil now just to establish a baseline, or wait until the next recommended interval? What would you do in this situation?

recently got a 2025 Hyundai Sonata SEL Sport a month ago with 911$ month and 24% apr..no GAP.. and mind you I had a co signer added on too 🤦🏾 is there any way to get out of this without the possibly having to pay back

Today while picking, an item fell off and landed under/near my station. I bent down and grabbed it because it was on the ground by the edge/corner of the station.

I NEVER stepped onto the AR floor, crossed any barriers, or entered the robot area.

Would this still be considered the AR floor, or is the AR floor only the actual robot operating area beyond the station barriers?

I'm asking because my site says entering the AR floor is an instant termination, and now I'm overthinking whether picking up an item near the edge of my station could be considered a violation.

I'm a newer picker at Amazon (about a month in) and I'm confused if I was actually being coached or if this was just a process correction.

Earlier in the shift my rate was mostly fine and I've actually gotten positive feedback recently (top quality, shoutouts, etc). But after getting moved to a new station because of a spill, a green/blue vest came up and observed me while I was picking.

My picking process was basically:
Grab the item > scan > toss in new tote (if the tote is full) > then push the old tote out with the new tote and hit rack light button.

She told me I should always do the tote transition/ process first before the item and said "it'II take all day doing that."

What confused me is:

• my tote transition time itself was actually fast
• I've been picking this way for over a month
• I see other pickers combine motions too

So now I'm confused if:
• this was an actual coaching/feedback
• she was correcting my process because of how I was moving the items
•or if l've just been misunderstanding the tote flow this whole time lol

Anv experienced pickers know what she likelv meant?
