[QUOTE="boswharfs, post: 79717, member: 239"] My favorite TS story: Although the time studier counts steps, there is a maximum. A driver in my center about 15yrs ago was making a regular delivery to the side entrance of a house. He was about half way to the delivery point when he heard the stopwatch click. He turned and asked the time studier why he stopped the watch. The time studier said that the driver only got credit for a maximum number of steps at which point the driver delivery bagged the package and dropped in the lawn right where he was. The time studier asked the driver what he was doing, and the driver said he was out of steps. The driver walked back to the truck and told the time studier if he wanted to complete the stop he was more than welcome to, and then the driver sat in the truck and watched while the time studier did it. This driver was the only one in the center who actually gained time on the study. Everybody else got killed. BTW that was the last time we actually saw time studies. Now they just change the numbers over night by fiat. [/QUOTE]
