I was an order selector at a frozen food warehouse. You had to hand stack food items on pallets, two pallets at a time. Orders were timed. Even though it was a refrigerated (32 degree) warehouse people wore t-shirts and basketball shorts because you were running all night throwing crates of apples, corn, yogurt, industrial bags of flower, etc. You worked until all the product was loaded onto trucks so a shift couldn be 8 or 14 hours who knows. Everyone that worked there (except me) was a loud convicted felon from the ghetto. Fights would break out in the aisles as the orders were times so if someone else got in the way you were causing other people to lose money. If a pallet broke or something your entire day's wage was ruined because you would never catch up. I've never been closer to buying a tank of helium than I was at the point in my life. Thank god its all behind me and I have a decent job now but his dead eyes still haunt me, picrel.
