This is satisfying. Best benefit of working nights...no people!
gets boring though
Get lot more done with no customers around
@@zezo4007 I work night shifts and it is so much better with no customers gets jobs done faster and so relaxing
@@joshgames719where you work ?
And you don’t have customers coming up to ask you the most basic shit
As someone who does day fill, this must be so nice to not have customers coming up to you every 3 seconds asking for the most basic shit
Dude idk why ur complaining with having people ask u for shit, sorry that u gotta do ur job? Lmfao
Customer:"Hey, where's the soap at?!"
Worker: "Right behind you ma'am"
Customer:"Wow, You basically said I'm stupid, where the manger?" - 🧑🏼

Netflix should make series of people working POV especially those in night shift. It would be satisfied watching people working.
Good idea, maybe start your own channel with this? Pay some money for ppls pov work videos and put them, make some marketing.
Good idea
that is so kafkaesque
@@erobogageshiz2496 how so

Very satisfying to watch. Recently started supermarket night shift in the uk. I think my biggest take away from this is I need to be more aggressive in ripping boxes, and more tidy in stacking them
How are you finding it? I may have found a vacancy near me and I'm more naturally a night person but I've just maybe landed another job working earlier shifts at another place with a low amount of hours. It seems they may be willing to pay nearly double for night hours
@@Stallzyx almost 4 months in and going well so far, glad I made the change as like you said the money is good for nights. Others have said adjusting to the sleep pattern is the hardest part but I’ve found it fine, I just stick to it on my nights off so I’m not out of sync. Apart from that it’s quite solitary which suits me, working with 1 or 2 others but we’re usually in different parts of the store doing our own thing. Best part is not having to deal with customers!
Ii work as a cashier and the only thing I have to re-stoxk is the cigarettes and nicotine puches. Those are probably the worstto unpackage since the puches come in this disgustingly thick plastic that not even a knife will cut through while the cigs are just straight up annoying and require precision to not cut into the product itself.
It’s just takes time at getting better at your job and the boxes 😅

No wonder my bags of chips are always dust. 😂 Love the video. Thanks, man. Keep working.
4:20 Now I know why my chips are broken lol
Exactly. He punched them out of the boxes.
I am currently an overnight worker for almost 3 years now. I always like to see how overnight employees from different stores work.
Me too. It suprises me how small some stores deliveries are? Our store do about 15-25 palets a night, no cages ? Idk if thats just cause this guy’s store is small or what?
@@tdtas2737 man! the biggest my store had so far is about 9, half of what was reserved for the meat department though
Mine got 40 palets per night. 10pm to 7am. It hard work but I like it
I worked at Seaford in South Australia, it is the 3rd busiest store in the state, we had like 45-60 pallets a night, let alone with a skeleton crew of 5-6 people, it was a joke
They made us work for an hour without punching in the clock to record hours, so we didn’t get paid the right amounts, and talked down to like a toddler for questioning
The manager and team members there were brain dead, I would trust a paraplegic more then them
Did that for a year, said, see ya
Ripping those boxes open like the incredible hulk
Working night shift especially living in Chicago during winter sucks. One perk about nights is that it’s very quiet. Most people are done shopping early during winter time. In the summer it’s a different story lol.
Dude is the reason companys set targets higher and higher
yep. once had a coworker finish an entire cart/buggie in like 3 minutes. thank god he quit that day seemingly. he refused to throw the boxes away properly into the big cardboard presser. and just walked outta there
How does my body recognize and remember exactly how this feels. Like muscle memory for working in retail for years. Every move and way of doing things is so familiar. Especially at ALDI where the food is kept in the boxes its delivered in.
Can't stop watching.. very skillful!
This is so satisfying
Now this is even more creative. I like the idea! Your team members would've been like "wtf is on your head" 😅
Bruh them boxes opening is so satisfying and I can’t explain why. You are a genius.
This is weirdly therapeutic
Thank you for your hard work.
This is sooooo satisfying
As someone who work 11pm to 7:30am 5 days a week in a groceries store it not all of what we live but it pretty accurate
Bro im getting flashbacks. I just made a mistake combining night shift work and studies. I was so tired after 6 monts of this work. I started to see nightmare everyday and waking up at 3 a.m in my day off. Once i was sleeping while pushing the cart and crashed into a shelf. Then I realized that I was simply being used as a consumable. And I found out that my friend, who also works as a cashier in another place, is paid more for less workload. One day I just didn't get out of bed for the day shift and i get quickly fired. After all this I was very depressed for several months. Do not combine work and study unless you are required to do so. This is a nightmare in its purest form
Ive quit a job the same way. except i decided to call them an hour after they opened, just to let them know ...... manager took that as me taunting him. he sounded so angry and made a threat. he told me he will make sure i dont find a job ever again. i wish that were true. my night shifts were brutal. 10 hour shifts. id rather be unemployed
I see a lot of reviews online of this role and people saying that their boss micromanaged them, or that you’re given unattainable targets, and it’s really high pressure. You make it seem so chill and like a pretty decent job! Do you have much interaction with other staff?
Yes! I get plenty of time chatting with the rest of the team and working along side them as well. My main team leader is definitely one of a kind, super chill and the work load is always realistic which is why I’ve been happy to work here for 4 years now however there are some nights when different team leaders cover and for the most part they live up to the reviews you’ve seen online haha
I think it depends where you go, my boss is exactly like that and definitely has favourites
@@MatthewTomkins what kinda gloves are you using
Yeah it all depends on location. When I first started work my manger used to be very annoying about little things as well. After sometime it becomes better. If you have good coworkers who are chill and not Karen’s then your shift runs smooth. I remember when I first got moved to a different division and my leader used to be on our case lol. Jewel has a lot of old workers and Walmart and target has a lot of young workers. So, it all depends on who’s running the department
Must vary from Walmart to Walmart ..I just started overnights n it's really awful .
it's a wonderfully artistic stocking and edit!
Ah I remember taking pride in my work. Ah the young years. How soon we learn better.
18 years old here. Should I be concerned?
This is satisfying and i didnt expect it to be
I did night swift at Walmart for 9 years. It was overall pretty great. Of course had some bad days but overall a great time and good memories with some good co workers. The only reason I left was to get a better job.
Got it?
@@Sufian95 yes I did with much better pay as well.
@@zach177what job do you do now
@@zach177what job now i kinda have 0 motivation

Thanks for the video mate! I'm starting coles nightfill this week. So excited!! 😄
how is it going now with your job is it easy to get use to
@@seboxame4124 it's.going great mate, thanks for asking. I work at the back doing splitting which is basically putting items from pallets onto cages which go onto the isles for packing. They are easy going when you start but yeah definitely a lot of work. Not a day that I haven't woken up with a sore back lol.
This is my dream job , leave me alone and let me do my thing with no customers around .

good lord, he is reloading every box
of course from a 12 minute video it seems nice and peaceful but im sure it has its cons haha. actually debating on getting into this myself. probably walmart/aldi/target, something along those lines. how do you work your schedule around it and how is your sleep?
Definitely give it a go! It can take a toll especially if you’re doing the overnight shift starting around midnight and not finishing till 6AM but don’t worry about that too much because most stores start fill around 6PM so the main down fall is things like dinner plans on work nights can sometimes be non existent unless you eat super early haha but you get used to it and work around it, then once you finish which is about midnight and arrive home most of the people I know usually relax for some amount of time like an hour or two before going to bed cause usually your body needs time to settle down after running around all night but as long as you can sleep in enough then your sleep schedule will be fine 😄
@@MatthewTomkins preciate the info!
I did grocery for a year and 7 months. The beginning was fun but it started getting really depressing for me. Having to wake up at 2 am was not worth it but I did get out of work early which was cool😅
But I would say to definitely get it a try
Try working in a hot factory with dirty loud machines that could cut your hands off. You'll appreciate this job.
My new shifts have been killing me, first shift ever they asked me to work 10 hours straight after not knowing anything about how anything worked (or being able to clock in.) I get a 30 minute break after 6 hours of work, and since I work at the register mainly my feet are about to explode every other day. I can barely get home anymore in the state I'm in, considering leaving and looking around for a remote job instead - retail can be hit or miss, and it certainly is not for everyone.
fr dude
Yup I do the same thing! So relatable
idk why, but I just couldnt stop watching..
I’ve never heard of Arnott’s brand but it must be real popular in Australia. Great job btw! 😁
I work this job, the same store and a different branch. I don't wanna give away too much but I'm a 7pm to 1.30am guy. I work in the baby or cleaning isle. Can be satisfying, but when it gets this close to Christmas it gets pretty sweaty.
So you are refilling an isle for 7 hours?
I had a bad experience with night-fill when I worked at Woolworths, manager bullied me out, but good to see nothings changed 😂
Shiiiit dude this was an awesome watch! Have to say though if I handled the stock in the store, I work at in the UK like you are I would be on an immediate Red Warning (Final Warning) 😂😂The store I work in we have to handle everything like it's a delicate baby
Yes. That is correct. I am starting nightshift next week and I noticed everyone was so calm and slow and taking their time… i am usually faster. But don’t want to break anything. I have to slow down….
@@debora2604 No don't slow down. Trust me I work like a dog and rarely break stuff
Finished my night shifts, turned out I worked faster then anyone there…it was fun and gave me plenty energy and better focus too.
You can also title this video: "What it's like tactically reloading shelves on a supermarket".
You deserve a raise for real.
It must be nice working nights shit they never put me on nights and when I ask they say (sorry someone else is) 🙄. But I work 5:30- 10:30 then the night shift comes in.. lmao I also stock just like you hella fast no playing around lol. 😂 keep up the good work man ❤
That supermarket seems chill. I use to work nightshifts for a British supermarket chain and they were the worst
Applying for tesco at some point in the next couple weeks I feel trained already
Wow you’re working really hard keep it up you’re doing so well
Is there a set time you have to complete each batch of stocks? If so I’d imagine this to be quite stressful 😂. Looks interesting non the less
The standard for how much team members need to complete varies from store to store but for the most part it’s quite reasonable and it’s not really stressful especially if the in charge doesn’t expect the impossible from the team haha
@@MatthewTomkins That's good to know, just applied to my local for night fill as well haha. Hope it goes well :D
@@ceiro4467How'd it go
What I would do I would open the cases real quick and see what product I have and remove the old cases from the shelve only the ones I need to remove then when I'm done opening the new cases just proceed to stock them in and then stock the old ones in. I think that will save you time from opening one case per case. Depending if you have alot of work to do I suggest this is the quickest way.
Did this for 14 years. Now I'm meat manager lol. You're doing too much waking back and fourth. It's more productive to spot it quick then throw or park at the front of the aisle and work your way down. This saves time on walking back and fourth. You'll get more cases per hour.
hey matthew why did you stop uploading videos? continue uploading buddy.
I applied for an overnight job at my local supermarket and my interview is next Saturday! If it’s like this… than this shouldn’t be so bad!
Wow🌟
I have been working 10 days in Home Bargains. The manager is giving some unrealistic targets. Got a notice today for not able to manage their pace. Leaving the job next month.
Given a notice after only 10 days! God damn
they would have fired you anyway. i was expected to use 2 machines and 4 functions to package quickly. i couldnt keep up with my coworker of 10 years so i got let go in the 5th day. no training either so i dont blame myself
This guy knows his aisle, and the no customer thing I get that , it's nice.
Last March I did the opposite had to clean off the shelves and floor after a flood tore through our town taking out 2 of our shopping centres losing coles 2 Woolworths Aldi Kmart and BigW now all back up and running and Ive got a nightfill job at Coles
At 1:08 good to see you returning a product to your trolley rather than jamming it into the shelf or hiding it somewhere else in the module or layout.
Great worker 👍
People need to keep this job if they land it. It's clean, climate controlled and peaceful. I use to work in a hot/cold, dirty, loud stressful factory. This is a dream job compared to that. Don't take it for granted.
will stop and shop with U! So many trees die...BIG LIKE!
Nice and efficient. Hard to tell if that’s your real pace or sped up a lil but when the product flew out at normal speeds, I realized it was just your pace. Good job man.
It seems like an insane pace. Is your pace required or is it just your nature to work this fast? Do your co-workers work at this pace?
I think it's his pace. I work overnight produce so it's a bit different for me but generally you don't have to rush or move super fast, unless you want to
This guy must have a cool boss that doesn’t order a shit load of product for them 😂. At my store he had to move 5x faster if we wanted to finish by 6am, due to my boss ordering 7 peoples worth of work for only 3 overnight crew members. He wonders why people quit 😂
I’m starting out at Woolworths tomorrow. How do you keep track of what goes where, when you’re starting out? Seems daunting.
Just need to keep practicing, it can take a few weeks to get used to an aisle
I have just started as a night fill assistant 5 days a week from 9pm to 6.30am. I work 6 other team members and on a busy night like Friday and Saturday nights when our truck comes in we have to literally empty 22 pallets that are fully stocked up. For me it’s already been 1 week and 2 days today and I feel like I have a lot to learn with managing isles and remembering where certain stock belong. A bit frustrating to when you gotta prove yourselves worthy when working with other team members who have been working as a night fill assistant for years. I watch you open your box of products like it’s a peace of piss and now I clearly see why it takes me like a minute just to open a box of maggie noodles or a box of pringles and want to say thank you for showing me a easier way of getting my products open in a efficient time then shelving them. I look forward to learning more from you cheers Mathew I enjoy my job that much the best part about it is working at night where it’s nice and quiet without my store being flooded with customers I wouldn’t have it any other way. 👍🙂
Woolworth? I thought that was only around in the 70s?
@@justinedse8435this is in Australia it’s one of the two biggest grocery store companies in the entire country
First off its the middle of the night,you can never get enough sleep during the day with everything going on outside,second you will have anywhere from 20-40 pallets of stock to manually throw up,and only maybe 3-6 guys to do all that if you are lucky.
It’s called work buddy
So satisfying! How forgiving are they if I can't work this fast to start with? Do people ever run out of time and have to leave boxes? how long does it take to find your rhythm and get good at it?
you don’t really have time limit to finish a bay ( the cart the boxes are on ) , and they shouldn’t get mad tbh, if ur doing your job that is good enough for them. And for my store personally, we just try and get everything out for the boxes and if you can’t , you just put in the back for the next night or next time, at first you may be slow but you get hang of it when u just cut and open and fold boxes :)
Man, it doesn't really matter how fast you are. It's essentially impossible to complete all the work because other people don't work as fast and some straight up just slack off.
It's pretty obvious in a supermarket who the weak links of the team are
These should be CBT videos honestly bro
Ah the boxes aren't all crushed and covered in motor oil and laundry soap. Impossible
I bet them items to this day: felt that fist knocking in their first sight of protection.
❤❤❤❤❤
I work seafood at a grocery store and often thought about working ovn as im getting tired of serving people for 8 hours a day lol and im a night person myself so staying up wouldnt be an issue
I need recommendations for gloves. I can't find thin and comfy gloves for this job. I work with drinks and alchohol and in the freezer part (idk what's called) so my hands get really damaged
Sorry to everyone who has a shitty boss. My workplace is honestly so wonderful.
That just looks like a good job to be honest
When I was 15 I used to work in a small corner shop for some extra pocket money, this is indetical to what I was doing xD
Starting my first overnight stocking job and super nervous . Don’t know why because I come from a construction background and am used to pressure . How do you know where to stock it before you open the cardboard ? Just muscle memory or are you looking at the numbers
update?
I assume you've found this out by now, but it's usually a combination of both. when you're new to an area, you start out by leaning on the universal product code that you can find on the barcode and on the tag. eventually after doing this a while, you start to just look at it and know. I've been a seasonal employee at my store for a year (6 months of cumulative on-time) and it took me maybe 2 weeks of stocking before I got to the point of "This box is yellow. Therefore, it is a box of unsweetened coconut milk and it goes right next to the olive oil at knee level." I work a day shift so being asked where shit is probably accelerated it for me. this is for anyone who wanted to ask the same question
@@Lyfty057 it’s easy . Basically you learn the store after a couple days / weeks . Luckily mine is only 16 isles total including paper towels and diapers . If you can’t find a product you just look at the serial code and it’s the last 4 digits you find on it on the price tag . If it’s a new product you jsut toss it too the side and ask your lead . Usually they will say to put it in an open spot and take one to the scan room for the scan person to cut in. My advice is to not work so fast and take your time . The first week or two I was super sore , because I’m constantly moving about 12-16k steps a night = 6/7 miles .. I recommend nice shoes with some good insoles . Also instead of being on your knees just grab a milk crate and sit on it when your doing knee level and under , and use it to also go top shelf .
@@blitzn00dle50 yes it was all fairly simple once you get a routine . I didn’t get any training or orientation. They jsut threw me in and said figure it out as I go lol
I am unloader too works in 3 to 11 shift … tiring tho night must be more difficult 😣
Keep making vids!
im curious. how slow were you when you first started working here? and how long did it take you to get to this efficiency.
would you be able to do this as a side gig? Like on weekends only?
I used to work that fast until I realized it’s not worth it. Take your time

ffs i love night shift, less people more time to stay alone!
Very consistent carton rate. Have you recorded a highest personal carton rate?
aren't you supposed too put newer food in the back and the stuff that's already out in front so it gets sold cause they will expire (:
i work at a supermarket i noticed you have the old roll-ins new one suck and if they see me smashing the boxes and the products they will kill me!

my store manger a nice person does know how proper way stock the shelves someone he to high on convince him its the right way how they care about speed not the way the aisle look dont get me wrong speed important but also the way you stock the shelves are also important
You put item quick without damage
Not a single item rotated😂

Hi Mathew Tonkins
I need to start wearing gloves when I stock.
Would you say this is a relaxing and non-overwhelming job? I just found out I am on the autism spectrum and need something that won’t cause me to burnout.
👌
I’m starting nightshirt work at Tesco in 4 days. Doing 10pm to 7am. Anyone got any tips for me?
I work night time the same shift as you for 4 years. The first 2-3 month are gonna be insanely hard for sleep especially but after it pretty fun and peacefull
Ask for a pay rise,they are greedy grubs!
How do you know what things are needed and what are still full?
based on how my store operates, I can safely assume they probably give him some boxes directly off the pallet without checking what goes up. this works because the distribution center sends items that have been requested by the store, usually automatically with manual confirmation
i get that you have to be quick and efficient but don’t you think you’re kinda rough with things? i’m starting to think this is the reason I always end up with half my bag of chips being broken XD
