Fuck them.. It's a damn job. The "infidels" ain't getting that shit. I was delivering some equipment to a muslim customer a few years back.. I got there right around prayer time apparently . They needed to move a bunch of shit out of my way to unload.. The main guy asked if I could wait until after prayer.. I was like "hell fucking no, you better find someone that's not so religious real quick or I'm dropping your shit in the parking lot." Shit got moved, unloaded and I rolled on out.

A good sorter at Amazon can do about 600 items per hour. A good robot can do 200 items per hour.

I give the robots maybe a year or two to surpass the Amazon workers, and then they will start being replaced. All fullfillment centers will start to move this way. Walmart, Target, and other big retailers that have bought out huge warehouses in Kentucky and Tennessee in order to keep up with Amazon, don't even have air conditioning in those buildings. The human workers are complaining, but industrial robots can work in those conditions and never complain about anything.

There's always someone who will do that same job for the same money...so I guess they can find an easier job if they don't like it?

My brother in law works for Amazon as a "picker". He had his own business and it crashed during the recession, and he couldn't find a job. So he went to work at Amazon. He started with an entry level job and loved it. He went from a job where he sat in an office all day to being on his feet all day and walking around. It was a huge adjustment. He had medical benefits on the first day.

Four years later he is now in management and still loves it.

Eventually.

Maybe they don't need to be faster. You can just have more robots. If it a Amazon warehouse has sixty "pickers"..... They could easily have 180 robots operating in the same space. No complaints from employees, no breaks, no lawsuits, no training classes, no sick days, no vacation, no medical leave....

Entry level jobs will be gone soon. Local McDonald's has a kiosk where you order food, so no cashier. They already have some restaurants where robots cook the food. Eventually they will serve the food too. At gas stations and drug stores they will no longer need cashiers - they are already making stores where you grab what you need and walk out and the cost is deducted from your bank account.

The future might be very interesting.

Impossible. Chic-Fil-A is closed on Sunday.

They haven't had a "good" sammich since they stopped selling the chicken salad anyway.

Amazon's problem is they hire normal people who wouldn't usually work in a warehouse setting. They then try to build their warehouse around this sort of set up. Meaning no forklifts, no multi level storage racks ect..ect..

It's why they have so much problems. Hell they cant even handle their larger items themselves, they have to contract out that stuff to other warehouses ar what they call "big & heavy" warehouses.

I used to do a lot of warehouse work back when I ran around in my van all over the country because it was easy jobs to get. I worked at a Amazon place for about a week before I had enough of their retarded shit.

Hell I wont even take loads to Amazon because they are fucking stupid as hell. They refuse to go into your trailer because of "insurance"..

Meaning you take a loaded truck to them, you have to use a manual pallet jack and pull each pallet to the edge of the loading dock before they will pick it up because they aren't allowed to go into 3rd party trailers...

Absolutely fucking stupid..

You think it's smart to have a third-party dictate how long it'll take to unload a truck on your dock instead of your own employees? Interesting

If there's one thing you can be absolutely sure of it's that I don't put up with no one's bullshit.. If you are working for me and you need time to pray you can do that shit on your lunch break.. Can't eat because you have to pray? Tough shit.. Make a choice. Eat or pray.. Can't get it in on your break? Speed it up. Kiss the floor faster.. I don't give a fuck. Find another job if you don't like it... As in my situation... You're on MY time.. change your prayer schedule or pick your shit up out of the parking lot... That's if the hood doesn't get to it first while you're on your knees licking carpet.
