And some more I took from another shoppers post:

3. Check the order before you start and see how many bags you will need for meat and produce. Get all the bags and up all the bags at once.

4. When a cashier is bagging your stuff you help if their is no bagger to save valuable time.

6. Alcohol. Message the customer when you are about to take off and tell them they need their ID and you will be there in X amount of minutes. Don't want to get to the door and the customer says...oh, let me go look/get my ID or let me get my keys because it is in my car #timewasted

7. I personally will center my morning around 1-3 drops. Take whatever before a 7am drop so I can get to the 7am on time. If nothing good comes then head to the 8am drop. If something good comes then get to Costco for 10.

8. Find 1-3 "home stores" in a central location. Finish a batch and start driving back to those stores while looking for another batch.

9. ALWAYS SEND A GREETING.

10. Try to park next to the cart return things.

12. Always check batch details before you start shopping.

13. Always have an extra card in your wallet and glove box.

14. Make a spare key for your car and put it in a magnetic box that goes under your car. Keep another spare on you. Don't want to lock your keys in your car and be screwed. Also, if it is hot and a double or triple and you have apartments you leave your car running with the AC on and lock your car with your spare key in the car to keep stuff cool.

15. Get your gas before or after you start.

17. Keep extra bags in your car. You might have a bag break or something else happen.

18. The deli, get that ish first (I rarely do this).

19. Seperating multiple orders while shopping. Use a big piece of cardboard. Those other contraptions waste time. You have a triple and your car has 3 places to store orders. Front seat, back seat and the trunk. Can't mix stuff up this way. If you forget who had what then you click on items and check a couple of bags to make sure you do not mix up orders.
