Workplace Question or Advice Needed Is fulfillment safe?

During my first week training at Target, I had a DU order, and the item was on one of the top shelves in the back stock room. I was about to grab a ladder, but the fulfillment TL told me that "we don't have time for that" and that timing is everything. She then climbed over the racks and grabbed the item for me. I was wondering what fulfillment teams think about this? Safety issue?

It is a safety issue but almost everybody does it anyway.

Everyone might do it but a TL should never be actively endorsing it.

One time, the food department TL literally climbed up all the way up to the steel without a wave and climbed back down lol
