I went to the grocery store this afternoon.

One of the store workers was standing on top of a tall shelving unit. A fellow worker was throwing packages of paper towels up to him, and the guy up top was stacking them into a display.

I asked them if I could toss some packages of towels up there. They let me help. It was the most fun I ever had in a grocery store.

Sounds almost as much fun as throwing fish in a market... Arugula Latte Jun 2015 #5

were a lot of fun.
Now they come in those big bins.
Back in the day we'd line up about 6 guys and do the old fire bucket brigade to unload a truck.

Yeah we'd miss a few - some were slick, an occasional rotten one.
But it was fun.
