TARGET WORKER SHOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE TRYING TO BE THE 'FASTEST PICKER' OF THE DAY. IT'S A LOT HARDER THAN YOU THINK

In the video, where she took viewers along to a Target shift with her, Kristine Nguyen (@mellowkristiny) said she was competing with other employees to be the “fastest picker” of the day.

“Your pick productivity is basically like how fast you do a batch,” she said. “However, it’s based on a ton of factors like if the floor is current; if everything’s on the floor; was it delivered today; is it located in the back.”

“Really, it’s honestly based on luck,” she added. “For my first batch, I couldn’t find these Legos. So another factor, like, if you can’t find stuff, you have to wait. But I guess I’m just bad at my job because they found the Lego I was looking for.”

“So this [batch], I did it at 6:27 a.m., and everything was already located in the beauty stock room,” she said. “So I was blessed by the Target Gods this time. Anyway, because of that, I finished this batch pretty quick at 6:30 a.m., and my productivity was 204.55.”

In the comments section, other past and present Target employees shared their thoughts on the system. “I don’t even bother checking my productivity,” one said.
