Work History

Personal Shopper

Walmart
03.2024 - Current

Picker, which was what I am/was during my time there as the name implies, I picked items from the floor for orders. As a picker I usually arrive to work, grab a TC and a printer then go out onto the floor to pick. Then rinse, wash, repeat for the entire shift. Stagers are those who then take the items we picked and organize them for pickup. They spend most of their time in the backroom. Lastly, dispensers are those who take the final orders out to the customer’s cars.


  • Placed completed orders in labeled, temperature-appropriate storage pending customer pick up.
  • Reviewed customer orders closely to locate desired items and checked app regularly to identify changes.
