That's the dilemma, non-college aged employees don't want to stick around a job that barely pays a few dollars above minimum wage for too long, unless they think they can get a promo.
And we have several retailers and FF places around, so the college-aged types probably feel they have nothing to loose slacking off. They can get a $9-ish job somewhere else (and one where they don't have to physically exert themselves for 8 hours).
I will say one thing: when it comes to performance, people of all ages suck in dayside BR. In the 8 years I've worked dayside BR, only about 7 or 8 TMs were good (out of dozens, our turnover is off the charts).
The key to dayside BR isn't to work like a roadrunner, it's getting from point A to point B at a steady pace. Don't stare at your PDA for minutes: scroll for a few seconds, find a batch that's in some section (say softlines), hop in, and pull! And don't spend forever staring at your PDA lookin for the next location. Walk and chew gum at the same time: walk while looking for the next location.
When you're done in the section, do a quick scroll to see if you got all the batches, take your tub to the line and jump in another section.
BTW, you're allowed to walk and scroll at the same time. Nothing drives me nuts more than people who stand still and scroll for their next section for nearly a minute!
And you don't have to pull batches in order of the aisles. If you're pulling groceries, scroll til you see a grocery batch and hop in.
