I worked for FedEx for a year and a half almost 20 years ago.
Shower doors were called rain sticks because they all sounded like it and we’d just send the box on. If it was leaking glass, we’d tape it up first. Aquarium fish got liquified after the box spilled and the bag broke on the fast belt. Saw gallons of bull semen spilled once. “Human tissue” spilled from “poorly” taped coolers a few times. Lots of broken golf clubs. All kinds of shit just lost from broken/crushed/mangled boxes. I know it got pocketed by a few people if no one was looking and small enough. Heck, I know a person who mysteriously had 3 broken iPod packages in a single shift. There was an angry dude that used to stomp on expensive shit like dell boxes for shits and giggles.
And that was a decent job … We had a 20hr/wk guaranteed minimum and full benefits.
