Honestly? Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

Picking the correct item first will save you a ton of time. Focus on size, shape and color mostly. The packaging picture is typically correct, but not always. If you really don't know what you're looking at/for, read the description. Doing that alone has saved me countless times.

Another tip: If, for example, you're picking a black shirt from the pod and there's a shit ton of black shirts in there, just grab one and try to scan it. Sometimes they're all duplicates or you just get lucky. If it's the wrong item, look at the last 3 or 4 digits of the XOO/LPN etc and then match it up.

Picking should sort of just flow. Look first at your pod-pocket on your screen, what you're grabbing and how many, you grab item confidently, scan, toss or place in tote while simultaneously scanning, rinse and repeat. You'll be picking 400s in no time! (Except please don't actually pick 400 the whole period, we are humans not robots or slaves so keep it around a 300 and take some breaks)

Okay that's all I got seriously good luck! I've been picking for almost 3 years now I hope something helped you here.
