I've been applying for jobs really slowly and inefficiently for the past year since I graduated college. I just have trouble finding the motivation to do so because I know most of them will get rejected. I know that I'm inexperienced and it feels embarrassing having to beg for a simple entry level job. How do you overcome the shame of imposter syndrome?

This legitimately P.M.O. when the customers do this. They call to check in early before their order is even picked and they ask if they can just grab the items inside the store to "speed up" the process. Like ok how about you just do your own freaking shopping then? Our software assigns picks on a first come first serve basis and we're gonna pick the order anyways so it's a waste of labor for us to pick groceries that the customer won't even receive. On top of that how tf am I supposed to explain to the customer that we can't just check them out because this is not the front end. This genuinely makes me want to blow a fuse whenever the customers say this.

Why don't you go to a restaurant and ask to cook the food yourself so that you can get it faster too while you're at it. Hey maybe I should order a pizza and deliver it to my own house.

Statistically speaking, digital has a much worse margin for error than the front end. Our department is so labor intensive and every extra associate you add to the work creates a new task that can be messed up. For example, the wrong quantity of item can be picked, totes can be staged to the wrong location, a prepper may ignore totes that don't belong on the dolly, and the dispenser could take out that dolly with the wrong tote.

Workers make mistakes so the more workers you add, the more mistakes that happen.
