.....hired to do something else, such as filling carts with online orders at an Amazon fulfillment center versus restocking shelves


These jobs won’t last long. Within 10 years, they will be totally automated.

True. Something like that lends itself to automation.

The packing for shipment though seems to be a bit more tricky due to varied merchandise.

Amazon isn’t noted for its great packing though.

Many of the “local businesses”, including chains here don’t deserve to exist. Many of them sell garbage at criminal, usurious prices. Why? Because they can. My butt hurts every time I leave a Lowe’s. This is why I plan ahead and mail order when possible. Am I missing out on “customer service”? Give me a break.

When they sell quality items at reasonable prices again and or have better training for their employees, I’ll give them another try.

Restocking shelves at the 1 minute mark. Amazon was interested in buying this company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVlhMGQgDkY
