OK, you've got it :-)

It's more like "loading" ... you don't give much context, but the meaning would be something like "selling something in huge quantities without giving much attention to quality, instructions, service, whatever" ...

Sorry I think I've just realised what it is: push something over the counter, i.e. an object (as opposed to follow-up service as well).
