I worked as stow, that job is brutal man, you gotta last 2-3 hrs at a time 3x a day for a 10hr shift. They don't like you listening to music so you gotta just sit there in silence. Luckily I got to unload trucks and I started drinking to get through it on my breaks.

Still it's tough to beat a place where you can walk in with no skills and start making $20/hr

It just made it more fun. There was a liquor store nearby so drive to it on the 30 minute break, pound a couple 100 proof 100ml bottles (99 Apples), back to it. That job was more fun than stow.

If you're curious can read the subreddit /r/amazonfc

They did recently start allowing you to buy their own approved headphones but before you'd get written up for being on your phone/having headphones in

I appreciate the irony of your optimizing your own experience as ruthlessly as Amazon optimize their operations.

Hate the game, not the player.
