Is this the behavior you are looking for?

You just need to give the Operator a Capacity property greater than 1 which is the default. In this example the opertor has a Capacity of 3, which means than he can load up to 3 flowitems that are int he exit transfer area.

The operator will pick up items in the exit transfer. If you don't make it larger, the operator will only see one item and start bringing it to the queue before the second item arrives at the exit transfer. In Regan's version, multiple items are available to exit when the operator arrives there and he can pick them up at the same time.
