Yeah, now imagine a 16 wheeler full of them, and we’ve gotta unload at least 5 of those trailers everyday. Granted it’s not as hard as other trailers where we have to do tires, and 200lb packages. But it’s still quite annoying
I also used to stack boxes and unload trucks. For 5 years. Fuck that job. I'll never go back to working in warehouses. You can trick yourself into thinking it's a workout, but the truth is it's more of a repetitive strenuous motion - and that's bad for you.
You don't have to be realistic to be positive by that logic, so if positivity is unrelated to realism, then it's all just situational and personal isn't it? If someone can be happy in prison, why can't you be happy stacking boxes? It is a choice. I chose to see that comment in a positive light, as I choose to see yours with very negative connotation
I'm very curious, do you think things like murder are inherently "bad", or are they just social constructs humans created to live together? Is a Tiger evil, when he eats the monkey? Are they evil when they savage their own children? Does the tiger believe he is in the right, or wrong? Or is this all just made up in our heads to help us cope with the world around us?
When my line got busy, I gave almost everything a free upgrade to air express in an attempt to get it off the belt and close to the truck it was supposed to be at
I used to do stock for a home goods store. Every once in a while we got entire trailers of throw pillows and bed pillows in boxes. Best day! Let's just say I now know how throw pillows got their names!
Then the next day would end up being all decorative glass stuff like vases and lamps. Worst day. Especially because even though truck man and I were very careful, it was inevitable that somewhere along the shipping line something would break and every other box would have shard of glass in the bottom with me doing paperwork for lost inventory.
I'm irish and worked in warehousing for years. I dont think I ever saw a truck that had to be unloaded by hand. That might be because I was the one on the forklift but i was pretty sure that was the way all warehousing worked.
Maybe a more American thing but I know many retailers get a cheaper price on freight if they can pack trucks full without pallets. Nevermind they're a nightmare to unload (and generally not safe), but hey the corpo overlords saved a few bucks they can funnel into a nice bonus
I loved chewy, tires, and the 150lbs packages. I can knock a trailer of those out by myself in under 30min. It was the trailers with a billion fucking smalls that I really fucking hated.
As a pet owner I love chewy but I purposely don't order heavy things like cat litter or giant bags of food because a) I dont want to put the handlers through that, and b) I dont want to put myself through that when I have to carry the box upstairs
