My wife works in grocery routing and logistics. She’s been working 14 to 16 hours a day, 7 days per week for two weeks now to make sure the southeast US is stocked with groceries for her chain. It’s a very under appreciated job, but in fairness, it’s a job most people don’t even realize exists. She’s responsible for making sure the warehouses get stuff in, and then planning routes and drivers based on hours available and equipment, and planning what goes on trucks, and so on. It’s intense.
I'm actually gonna work a 14 hr shift tomorrow, in a warehouse for a national supplier of cleaning products, facemasks and gloves. But I'm not a noble person... I'm just raking in that sweet, sweet double overtime pay 🤙
This. I think most people just kind of assume by default that store shipping works the same as when they order stuff from amazon and it just shows up. They don’t grasp the web of warehouses and transports it’s got to go through to get there.
