I just ordered some magnetic switches last night from Grizzly.
I went to their site and noticed the tent sales, ... hmmm no tent sales
in Muncy PA...

Hey wait, no store in Muncy PA..

When did that happen?
are they in trouble?

in answer to my own question Oct 31st 2015 was their last shipment from
there.

Oh well, I would take a trip there once a year and stock up on stuff.
It was a wierd place for a machine company, not near a harbor, or
roadways. I don't know if it had rail lines to it, I doubt it.

Thought it was only a mile or two from I-180?

Anyway, you're right that by far the bulk of what they
received would be intermodal containers from China or
Taiwan, which would go by rail to the nearest terminal,
likely somewhere in the NYC area, and then be drayed
back to Muncy. Altho their new place in Missouri is
the same deal, stuff would have to be drayed from Argentine
in Kansas City, which is probably 3 hours away.

Yes it was, but I-180 at a very rural area of PA. It's not like it was
in or near a populus area. I live in farm country and there's nothing by
me either. But that was quite far out of the way. Had it been
Harrisburg, or camp hill area. I imagine it would have been easier as
that is a central hub area to the north east regions trucking.

got a catalog and it says there are two stores with tent sales

did not know they had stores but my guess is that expense of a store
front cuts deep into the bottom line and the numbers are probably
easy to see


did not know they carried so many products either

do the stores double as fulfillment centers for grizzly
if so they might be consolidating centers to save money there also

would bet that they get or got a good deal to set up a fulfilment
center there and probably did not pay what a mom and pop would pay

it is possible they got big tax breaks and also possible that they
routed more products through there and the mayor could no longer
allow them to roll over him and his streets without paying for it

Timing is everything. I made a joke about taxes but. . .
On the CT new last night they showed the opening of the new Amazon
fulfillment center in Windsor, CT.. They mentioned that the town gave
them $3.5 million in breaks over 5 years. Allegedly will employ 800.

I believe they received some tax breaks in NJ as well...Flat rate fee rather than percentage of sales/profit...Employing thousands of locals gives them some negotiation power...

Three of Sam's joint have closed in the area, all replaced with new

Good reason to learn a skill and have an education.
Part time $12.25/hr Full time up to $13.25
https://amazon.force.com/JobDetails?...0000011ywSrMAI

Other positions pay more but I did not see particulars.

Amazon offers competitive packages including comprehensive health care,
401(k), restricted stock units, growth potential and a challenging and
exciting work environment.

At the job fair, Amazon officials will provide candidates with
information about the company and the application process. It will
explain what a day in the life of a fulfillment associate is like and
explain benefits, including the Career Choice program, where Amazon will
prepay or reimburse up to 95 percent of tuition for courses related to
in-demand fields, regardless of whether the skills are relevant to the
company.

Mistakes are a fact of life. Any company that expects no mistakes is
not long for the business world. I worked for a company like that and
it wasted way too much productive time to insure minimal mistakes
instead of concentrating on what is ultimately the most important thing,
the customer. They went out of business.

A mistakes by workers do not affect the bottom line on a continuous
basis. Mistakes by management that is not recognized and corrected
affects the bottom line.

Certainly, but out of 200~300 orders over the coarse of a week, and
those orders having an average of 50 pieces, is a lot of picking and
shipping. We double checked each pulled order with two different
people, other than the puller, and if a mistake got shipped all three
were penalized monetarily. Inventory counts tended to be extremely
accurate and if a customer said they did not get a part we would check
the bin count against what the computer indicated. If the count was
right the puller and checkers were still penalized. Totally ridiculous.

Because we seldom made a mistake the customers were seldom upset as our
competition screwed up on every order.

Can't speak for Amazon. but most picking in large warehouses is
automated and checking is a matter of scanning bar codes. A friend's
daughter works in a place where pickers wear a headset and it directs
them to the bins.

There are 17 glassdoor reviews for fulfillment associate at Amazon.
They complain about long hours, hard work, short breaks, lazy co-

that is watering it down a bit or maybe i did

the amazon centers are a not a typical warehouse operation

amazon daisy chains shipments often

you buy 5 prodcuts but they cannot be fulfilled from a single place

so your shipment might start at ct then go to mo then to pa then
finally to you

increase in complexity means they have to run a much tighter ship
or the bottom line gets hurt and at their volume that would hurt
a lot

technology helps but there is always a human factor

Those are typical complaints from 90% of workers at 99% of companies.

Amazon does state there is mandatory overtime. Staples warehouse and
probably many others do that when the company advertises a specific
delivery time.

Well, the third possibility there is that the job is set
up to make mistakes likely. In that case changing the
process is the solution - changing the worker just means
you have a new guy making mistakes.

There is a whole field of engineering, Industrial Engineering,
focused on how to set up processes to maximize efficiency and
minimize the opportunities for error.

Mandatory overtime for part-timers can be dangerous--it may put them
into full-time and when that happens then a bunch of worker-protection
laws kick in and they get a _lot_ more expensive.

the amazon centers are a not a typical warehouse operation

amazon daisy chains shipments often

you buy 5 prodcuts but they cannot be fulfilled from a single place

so your shipment might start at ct then go to mo then to pa then
finally to you

increase in complexity means they have to run a much tighter ship
