Man, what idiots! It's a good thing that most FL drivers are union
members or their silly asses would be tossed out -yesterday-. One
would think that management would get a clue when they saw the death
and destruction toll each month/year in the warehouse.

It can also get you into delicious situations (with beautiful women
above your station) in a hurry, so it works out in the end, so to
speak. Make sure your wallet has the O wear marks, and we're not
talking BamBam or Oprah here.

I saw this clip on TV and wondered what the puff of smoke and what
appears to be flames coming from the fork-lift are - Malfunction?
(Ir)regardless, an expensive faux pas.
Did you receive Santa's shiny red package?

The girl I work with used up all my "normal" envelopes and that is
what I got when requesting one. Even the post office guy made an issue
of it - rather embarrassing.
As for the content, I'm just paying it forward, as Swing and others
donated old tools to the cause when I first appeared here many years
ago. I hadn't used it in years, and you seemed to have a need.
Anything I can do to help a fellow wrecker /and/ reduce our dependence
on oil is a good thing in my book! Hope it helps - it's pretty cool.

Saw that yesterday, it was a feature on failblog. Seems to be a
fundamental problem with the shelving system as well as the fork lift
driver. One impact shouldn't bring down a whole warehouse full of
shelving.

Don't know about shelving quality, but it sure was a big, big problem
with shelving spacing.

I worked for a large (now bankrupt) electronics distributor years ago,
and the warehouse crew regularly destroyed much expensive merchandise
with fork lifts. I've never seen flames come out the exhaust, however.
Their favorite targets seemed to be the screens of Pioneer rear
projection TVs - and knocking over the 15 high stacks of merchandise
plainly labeled, "Do not stack more than 6 high."
I bet they saved a buck or two on those sorry shelves - what an
investment. Went down faster than a crack addict on Peachtree.

How dare you sully the reputation of a venerable icon of excessive
consumption and indulgence. WalMart would NOT approve. Besides, it's
nothing a trip to the pharmacy won't clear up before Christmas. ;-)
But seriously, that salacious mindset can get you into big trouble...

Probably higher losses in cardboard and glass than the losses in
booze. <shudder>

He just STARTED it, silly. Vroom, vroom, y'know? I'll bet they have
accelerator limit blocks installed in those things, and that they use
a whole helluva lot stronger, better-braced shelving units in the very
near future. That's a lot of weight, all that moldy potato water.

I'm pretty sure that I do _not_ want to know what you meant by that.
