Vlada has been working at a Wildberries pickup point for almost a year, working a 24/24 schedule. We're talking about what happens behind the scenes: substitutions, fines, shouting in line, 15-minute breaks, and restrooms, which some pickup points simply don't have.

Not to mention: how much does a pickup point employee earn, why a 9,000-ruble shift can end with a 7,000-ruble fine, what happens if you order 30 items and pick up just one, can you check the equipment right at the pickup point, and what happens if you switch items after trying them on.

About the people: why do people get angry at the employees all over Wildberries, what do those who shout say, how the patrol arrives in response to the panic button, and what their purchases reveal about them.

And a personal note: how Vlada writes songs during breaks, why a video from the pickup point has garnered 15 million views, and what she will never do when she comes to pick up her order.
