New Associate: How many pallets a day?

I just started working at DollarTree as a stocker. At my store we get 1 pallet each for drinks, food/pantry items, and one for chips/candy/snacks.

I get scheduled for 5 hour shifts and my manager said I'm supposed to do the entire drink pallet one day and the entire food/pantry pallet the next day.

I did like half the drink pallet my first day and then like 60% of the food/pallet the second day. Then I came in on a third day and finished what was left of both, but my manager implied that he wants me to do 1 whole pallet per 5 hour shift once I've gotten used to things.

This was like 8 U-Boats stacked to the top total for both pallets. And maybe 20-30 minutes total each day spent checking the dates whenever I found out of date stuff and had to check all the items for stuff that was bad.

Just checking but is this normal? How many pallets do experienced stockers usually run a day? I think once I actually know where stuff is I could maybe do 3 U-Boats a day but 4 really seems like a stretch.

I'm not new to stocking btw I worked at Walmart for 5 years as an overnight stocker.
