[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 526018, member: 7185"] Wow. Good point. I did not know this. I had an idiot for an unloader one night who decided to send up an open box of screws / bolts / nuts / whatever. It was shipped to a bottom belt (a slide at this hub). Lo and behold, several hundred of these little buggers went down the slide, with the sort manager watching the whole thing. I was already hopping mad from a leaker earlier in the evening and now this. I killed the belt, yelling for a tote to slide down to get the stuff. The sort manager grabbed his radio and made as though to make a radio call. He said, "Hey, Ken, one of your Einsteinian sorters just sent an open box of screws / nuts / bolts down a slide! He's being pulled from service." I saw him clutching the radio, so I thought it had gone out over the air. I was hopping mad, cursing the unloader, the open and the lousy night. The sort manager thought the open was FUNNY! He thought it would be a real kick to pretend to make such a radio call. The part-time supe on the aisle was right behind the sort manager with his own radio. He knew it didn't go out. He told me, "Easy, easy. It didn't go out over the radio. He was making a joke. He could have pulled you right out of service, no questions asked. He knows it wasn't your fault. Ease up, man." Indeed. I always welcome corrections. My posting was my understanding. Apparently, I was wrong. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
