Let's see if I can put my words together cohesively. I work at a Walmart distribution center. My job, basically, is to push a cart around my area, called the pick mod, and pick up smallish items, such as shirts and blankets, to the packing station so they can be boxed, labelled, and shipped to people's houses.
