Another day, another dollar.
Another day, another $100,000 dollars for someone else.
That's right, someone selling Ducati motorcycles, like the two, worth together, roughly $100,000, that I handled at work to"day".
You read me, two Ducati motorcycles. Booya!
And to commemorate such an extravagant delivery I have prepared an honourary Stop Five Record. Stop Five Records are the Ducatis of the blogging world. Cheers!
1. Obviously, today's Ducatis. Never been so stoked. Approx value: $100,000.
2. Biweekly shipments of Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic freight, and every-other-month "Newflow" of 4 times regular shipments. An average shipment to one gap store is about 80 boxes a week. You can pack about 4 pairs of jeans ($60x4=$240) or 20 pairs of socks ($8x20=160) into a said box, so I estimate an average value of $200 per box. That's $16,000 a week to ONE store. There are roughly 30 Gap, Gap Kids, Old Navy, and Ban Republic stores in the GVRD and Vancouver Island + Whistler area. Imagine Newflow!.. Approx value: $480,000, and ongoing.
3. Piles and PILES of crap cardboard Toronto seems to think we love. Yup, they come on every pallete, in between palettes, piled here, piled there. Everywhere that cardboard fits, cardboard is shipped. Pretty lame. Approx value: ...crap.
4. A one time shipment last summer, during "back to school sales" we shipped an entire 53' foot trailer full of Toshiba Laptops. They're worth about $3,000 each. Needless to say, EVERY laptop was accounted for (as these very easily go "missing"). I forget how many there were, but we callculated the estimated value to be approximately $500,000.
5. Last week's Tombstones. We lost one. Approx value: Priceless. Sorry again Mr Whitman.
Kinda sad that a job involving this much in retail-ish funds only pays $12/h. But I do get to drive a forklift, yippie!
Ok and what the heck...proofreading this thing, it suddenly goes WIDESCREEN like the Strong Bad e-mail. Wiggedy whack.
