£0.04 per item shipped. (220 working days x 8h)

as a customer i'm happy to pay another 4p per item shipped to have workers only process 125 items/h. But capitalism doesn't work this way. Bezos would just pocket the 4p and keep squeezing the workers to the max.

Pretty sure he's not the only worker involved in shipping your item.

Per item received. He's a receiver.

He opens boxes, scans the barcode, and puts the item into a box behind him.

15 seconds per touch is a good rate, but it's not breakneck for this work.

Without side work, you could realistically do these in 5-10 seconds.
