I always liked those extra thick gloves with the thick grip on the outside of the glove. Some would have a weird liner in the glove that took a few seconds to put on and take off properly. I like a glove I can put on and rip off in a flash without worrying about the integrity of the glove. But, even with those gloves, my hands would still fall off running the freezer. I was always the freezer guy. I didn't mind it. I learned the product. Yeah, some of the bulk items out of the freezer are heavier but, it's worse running dry. Fuck Texas Roadhouse bread mix. I could stack 15 back in my prime and easily run it down the ramp onto the slippery floors of the TRH.

Thicker isn't always better with gloves. You still gotta be able to work in them. Have some dexterity of the wrist and fingers to work that dumb ass scanner or write your count down on a random piece of paper if you're scanner is "dead". I like the old school way. You learn the product better. You learn those little weird codes on each box that's like a fingerprint that distinguishes them from the other. I could go on and on. You really learn your shit and that's how you earned respect. People could be like "missing large panera glove" and like the terminator I could scan that poorly built pallet and find those gloves. "THERE YA GO!" 

Get some waterproof/water resistant gloves. You'll work in the rain and snow. Sometimes those freezers and coolers leak on your hands as you hand stack those steak n shake French fries even though that's not your fucking job but it's the only way you'll get these 47 straight fries into this freezer even though they already have 28 in here. 

We could talk boots next.
