Differences between GER and Prime Shopper

GER has to direct many fans to different spots, only let suites, theatre boxes, Bud Club, Pepsi Club, United Club, and Bridge investors use West VIP escalator, let fans with tickets 101–106, 113–119, into the Bud Club, and make sure no one leaves with alcohol, after 3rd.

Depending on the shift, GERs can be placed in many different locations.

Location: SF, 45-minute commute

Pay: $17.82 (Minimum wage)

Prime Shopper

Picks, packs, and stages orders for customers.

Location: Fremont, 25-minute commute

Worst day: 124 item order (a lot of quantities of frozen cauliflower rice) losing the order. I was already working on packing the order. Amazon delivery driver took over the order. Started packing and staging the order as well. Alita helped too, as there were no orders. Another co-worker tells me I have to put cool liners in the chilled/frozen bags, and Alita backs me up and says he got it. I appreciated that.

The order gets completed, and I clocked out.

Pay: $15.25 (Minimum wage)

I would leave if I didn’t want to do it anymore.

Similarities:

Part-time, minimum wage, standing for hours.
