[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 358700, member: 484"] Ah yes, the days when we could actually be telling the customer the truth when we said, "we dont go there" Interesting some of the memories. I remember Coke doing a regional case giveaway. I remember them saying it was 250,000 cases of coke that we got to deliver. So many of them were damaged....... One thing that no one has mentioned is the ratio. We had one part time clerk that was also the "sup" on the preload. Granted, we have a few more employees now, but we have 1 full time sup, 8 part time, and 4 clerks working the preload now. It used to be you never saw one, now you cant walk down the belt without falling over one. And with all this extra management, it takes longer to get the sort down????? I think the saying "the left hand knows not what the right hand is doing" applies here. I also remember how hard it was for them to get hold of you on road. It was a two way street though. Sometimes good they did not get you, sometimes bad. The big strike of 76 was also something not mentioned. Of course it was not nation wide, just a major part of the east coast. And not the least of which is so many guys/gals that lost their jobs over stupid :censored::censored::censored::censored:. Funny, as has been mentioned, so much of it has been blocked, for sanities sake! d [/QUOTE]
