Did they have the bullet proof glass across counter?Can’t be much worse than wheeling 40oz’ers all day in neighborhoods than specialize in 40oz’ers.

I remember one I had. All it had was a 8-10’ wide walkway. Glass all the way around. Customers could see the merchandise & ask the clerk to get, but had no access.Did they have the bullet proof glass across counter?
What ever happened to the Electric Pallet Jacks, said to be part of the "tools required", for such shipments??When you're trying to pull a skid that is 2K-3K up the slightest incline its basically impossible without help, add that to most flooring loads are not on standard pallets so most of them are either almost to big for the liftgate or way oversized. Then rinse and repeat because its rare if someone orders enough for 1 skid.

Great. So, we can set the handbrake in order to catch our breath, half way up the long driveway... Nice. <insert sarcasm>we got 2 of the power assist jacks. Nothing electric about them they have a hand brake and another lever that helps you get momentum to get heavier pallets moving. They’re junk.
And I heard that those pallet jacks will have a tool box mounted on them too, so when you have to take doors off, and other home fixtures from the walls or ceilings, you will have the right tools.Great.
