Ordering on line and stock pickers

Has anyone besides me ordering on line, ever thought about the persons picking / packing your order and thinking WTF ???

Wonder if they think… What a kinky mother these / this person is, or…. Hummm… I might want to try that.

I imagine myself working at one of these “ fulfillment centers ” and going WOW !!!

Long ago, I purchased a few “things” from JT's Stockroom online. I got an email asking me, like a verbal wink, if I was enjoying the products.

I have ordered intimate merchandise from EBay and Amazon. They don’t care about anything except money and end of shift. You need not worry, try not to scare yourself. I bought a new old stock fountain syringe not long ago. The seller included a note thanking me and that he was a disabled veteran and sells things to earn income. Nice feelings all around including the new owner of the enema bag. Order Up!

I've bought some thermometers on eBay and that is exactly what I thought.

Nope! Never give them a second thought.

A little reality check here!

That job is becoming increasingly automated.

here in the US, in the post Covid-19 era, there are 600,000 fewer potential workers in the labor pool.

There is no meaningful reduction in the money supply, meaning that the people who have jobs that pay anything have MORE discretionary income!

This means that the companies that do that sort of thing are under pressure from 2 sides to invest in automation!

Also, when my father worked in the pharmacy department of a chain grocery store in the 1990s it was normal that all the incoming stock had to be “Worked” and all the aisles fronted and dusted before the night was over.

That stock included, among other things Feminine Hygiene products. Many times the female clerks were busy at the registers so male clerks had to do it.

After you've done it a couple of times, it's just more stock that has to be worked and another aisle to be fronted, before you can go home and sleep! Which is what most people REALLY wanted to do, no matter what they talked.

Before that he worked at a mail order catalog shipping center. They were not allowed to leave orders unfilled at the end of the day. The packers had to pack them and if they were behind the pullers would help them out!

Don't you think that the stockroom you are buying from is mostly the same?

Don’t you think some of the people shipping our products are just like us and like any of us get off on it ? The handling of the equipment and packing it to ship off to you. How hard or wet would you be ? Think about it thinking of all the possibilities for its use and knowing yourself the pleasure it brings. Think of their personal inventory all of us here has a good selection of inventory it’s why we are fucking here😘

I have a friend who has told me that working fulfillment center in one of the large online retailers is a grueling, fast paced job. He said that he seldom saw the description of the item, just the stock number. They would grab the item, scan it for accuracy, & drop it in the box. If he was to make his quota, he had no time to investigate the products he was picking.

From my own experience, Amazon & Ebay usually package items so the contents cannot be determined. Etsy is more like small cottage businesses, someone making the items themselves or purchasing wholesale. They have an interest in protecting their customer's privacy.

Other online retailers privacy practices have been all over the map. Some do a great job of securely & privately packing. Others will put a silicone dildo in a plastic mailing bag. Anyone who picks it up will know what it is. I have a list of vendors that I will not order from again and a shorter list of highly trusted vendors.

LisaK has it right on this one.

But uh oh! Those robots know all about us kinksters. What if they start talking about us??? Hmmmmm…

And robots, unlike dogs will rat us out!!

That's WHY I made my husband return that Alexa, and keep it on the deck at least 3 ft out the door in the mean time.

Once he had it packed up to go back, it had to be kept in the garage, again at least 3 ft from the door until he took kit to the UPS Store!

Way to go LisaK. If we want that Amazing company to get even closer to “understanding” us all beyond belief, Alexa is the way to go. To whom might they give that information some day?

Personally I'm uncomfortable around one, and dam well won't allow it in my home.!

If you go on some of the Yoga sites and look at the pictures you will see that there is a great understanding of the joy of the enema. Beautiful pictures of naked young women lying dreamily in joyful bliss…no equipment showing…and very detailed descriptions of how to do it and what to buy. And how clean and healthy one feels. Code words for the real exhilaration.

I bought a few dildos on line and one dildo got delivered to the wrong house and the next day it was at my front door and it had been opened , i was floored to think one of my neighbors and i don't know who knows i use monster size dildos , so a lot of good that plain brown wrapper did

OMG that would be devastating but fun too!

Oh, my @Annie2 [13]. I would have been concerned if they had been tried.

Many years ago I had a neighbor who worked in distribution for a healthcare products company that stocked everything from Oral B toothbrushes to Shy syringes to OTC pharmaceuticals. This was before most of those jobs were automated and he vouched for the fact that an order was just another list of items to be picked. There were so many of them every day that the pickers couldn't care less what the items were. He said that the only time anything got interesting was when colleagues were purchasing items at the company store.

Once he had it packed up to go back, it had to be kept in the garage, again at least 3 ft from the door until he took kit to the UPS Store!

Well done! Smart of you to store the box 3 feet from the door. A friend of mine was also waiting to return an Alexa but only stored the box 2 feet from the door. OMG!!! I will spare you the details, but let’s just say things did not end well!!! LOL

That is only once it is boxed up

Until then it has to be either the deck or the patio at least 3 ft from the door! I don't give a shit about the rain!!

I find it too close to the door, then it's between the garden hose and the sledge hammer. I would gladly take either one to it!

Lol, full fulfillment center. What a nice phrase.

That Alexa was sent back about 5 weeks ago and it's still causing issues!

Turns out that, during the time it was out on the deck it picked up more than we knew.

While most of it was planes flying over, trains going down the track half a mile away, noise from the highway, neighbor's dogs barking etc, which is what I thought it would get, it got something else!

My neighbor went out on HER deck to have phone conversations with her lawyer, her Mom, and her sister about getting the process started to divorce her husband. THEY BOTH FOUND OUT ABOUT IT!!

Her Husband's lawyer is as crazy as he is!! He insists that “Those are not reasons why they will let you return an Alexa” and insists it's still around!!

YES, I had at various times threatened to take a sledge hammer, a garden hose and some gasoline and a match to it!

They DID accept the return!

It's gone back where it came from, but it shows the danger!

LisaK relates a cautionary tale below. If you like the idea of creepy spying not to mention Mr. Bozos and company knowing everything about you and yours, then by all means, give him what he wants.

@LisaK

You do realize that a hacked cell phone can do all of the things that Alexa can do. If you have any cell phone in your house, you are fully exposed.

This story keeps getting better and better. I think it would make a great graphic novel. I can’t wait for the next development. Will the Brooklyn 99 be called in to investigate? Will Amazon start sending dildos & Legal Zoom kits to everyone in the neighborhood? Will the returned Alexa at the warehouse wake up and automatically place an order to send a new Alexa back out to gather more intel? 🍿❤️

I'll NEVER have an Alexa, still have a land line, keep my cell phone off unless I'm using it, and NEVER browse the web with a Windows machine. As for stock pickers - let em have a smile.

Be well, stay safe gang 😃
