    Guess that explains why the office ladies were putting together a bag of snacks to hand out to the drivers that frequent the place.

    Resupply is a learning experience for us types. Can be made interesting.
    Go shop for the week; make a list of your buys on a spreadsheet double spaced...
    Next week; review, pencil in things you missed from last week.. Use it to shop.
    At the 3rd week, jot in the aisle location of an item (depending's on using Walmart/Kroger).
    Print, analyze, resort in pencil to get pretty complete. Reprint the adjusted list, Item aisle.
    Then; go down, use your print from the front door, aisle and items till done. Quicker.. Easier.
    Cn alter in pencil as changes. encountered.

    Clarification..
    This was set up to use after wifes passing in 2011. The door delivery was not available then or the prefabbed store lists. Warning tho, Walmart changes aisle locations, so you have to update each trip to keep current. Kroger not as often.

    Critter #1 received a lesson on not to touch “Plants” in the awsomenest state the first 5 minutes on place— one that she most likely will never forget

    True, but you know.. In all my years I've not seen a driver refuse a shipment poorly arranged, strapped,or positioned. Often wondered what his employer did about damage claims. I always over did the pallet, but have observed lots of dock people just stack it on, shrink it, turn and wait for the pickup.
    You would be the exception. No freighti is better than to become damaged freight in my opinion...

    Not seeing any dead animals and heat getting mixed here. What’s up with that?

    Ever notice that most places that do something like this, always go get the big mixed box/bag of lunch snack bags, then take all the good ones out and give the other out as the “gift of appreciation “
