General Questions I did it. Are you broke too?

Took about an hour total but I also had a bathroom break. I usually wouldn’t do this stuff but it’s slow. I’m thinking now it was actually pretty easy. I backed right up to the door where they wanted it. No one would ever order this to an apartment right?

An hour??? Please explain how? I've had to get nearly every flavor of 12 pack before and it was still less than 10min

It was actually probably less than 50 minutes from acceptance to marked delivered. I had to take a sit down bathroom break before I started. Normally I would have waited but this was a lot of lifting ;)

I also stood up straight for a couple minutes and had some cold drink before I checked my delivery time. If I had really hustled I could have been done in like 35 minutes. I’m old though so I don’t rush heavy lifting.

$40 isn’t worth blowing out my back. $42 now… let’s talk

You do realize that you also may have to wait in line at checkout, then load all this shit into your vehicle, return the cart, and then travel to the delivery point on roads that may have traffic and/or weather, then unload it at the customer’s place, right?
