[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1105577, member: 43119"] I haven't read the entire thread up to this point, but what are you guys talking about peeling and re-applying labels? Do you mean, peel the label off from whichever side it was stuck to and re-apply it to the side of the box that faces outward? If this is what we're all talking about, then I personally have never heard of this method before. But, if it works for you, then go for it... unless you're strictly told to do otherwise, then "work as directed", as everyone will say. We have large sharpies here. I've read in threads before where some buildings have some kind of silly charcoal things. Crayons though? Really? This seems like some kind of a huge joke, about how preloaders are all children in management's eyes. This is not an issue in my building. What a preloader learns all depends on which supervisor "teaches" him. I've seen people who have been here for weeks and have never been told to write the sequence number on the package. Nobody is harassed about it and I've never heard of it as being a serious issue here. I'm sure drivers hate it, but who cares about drivers anyway, right? Typically, management just wants the right packages in the right trucks. Order and organization doesn't matter. That's for the driver to deal with. I think peeling the label off would be annoying, for me. Not everyone has nails. Some people wear gloves. Packages with certain types of plastic wrappers are difficult to peel labels off of. I carry a sharpie at all times... and have many black marks on my hands that take forever to wash off. That's an interesting concept though... one I've never considered. Assuming that's what this is about. [/QUOTE]
