Well my boss has a dang good reason for doing it. Whole Foods pays out the azz for the special packaging. And they've got to because the packaging costs money and I'm getting 10 bucks an hour to fold em all up. It's the same exact fruit just packaged differently and at a different location. But the price is 2x what we charge.
Overall I can't complain about my boss(es).
I had a major fuel leak on the truck today. It started as I pulled into their parking lot. So my brother, who also works there, and I diagnosed it on his lunch break between customers for me. It was leaking at the fuel bowl lid. So I was able to get dad to get me a new lid and gasket and the boss was cool with me installing it between customers. Even lent me a 1" socket to torque it down. But I'd get started on it and a customer would pull in so I'd have to run inside, wash my hands, check em out, work for 30 seconds, repeat. I ended up bashing off the mount for my decorative engine cover because it was getting in my way. Went on real easy after that. Kept cross-threading before due to the mount being in my way.

Well I now know I can actually fold a box with my eyes closed. I tried it on a few with no bad results.

I meant the fuel tank issue, but the box folding thing must get old quick too.

Yea. Sometimes you're the dog sometimes you're the hydrant. Today was my turn to be the hydrant.
