Wow!

The other day, I was at local gas station/convenience store...

As I stood there waiting for my tank to fill, I noticed this big, non-descript truck.

As I scanned my surroundings, I noticed these two guys moving a pallet that was filled with bags of ice. Two guys, one pulling the pallet jack, the other pushing the pallet... obviously it was heavy. Heck, probably was a ton of ice! 200 bags, 10 pounds each!

But these two guys got within 10 feet of the outside freezer and stopped. They then both walked back to the non-descript truck and got a cart, wheeled it over to the pallet, and began transferring the ice from the pallet onto the cart.

I don't know why, but I was so intrigued that after my tank was full, I pulled my truck up to a parking space near where these guys were working.

I sat there and watched them throw bags of ice from the pallet to the cart. Then, when the cart was full, they wheeled it over a mere 10 feet to the outside freezer and began to offload the ice into the freezer. One of the bags fell off, and broke open... they just kicked it out into the parking lot to apparently melt down.

I'm thinking to myself, I want this job!
