Having worked at UPS years ago, the problem is the length of their conveyors and their workers. If the conveyor gets backed up (which as a worker was a nightmare) the pressures against the end of the line were incredible. The weight of all the packages behind the end would push against those closer to the end and as a loader if you couldn't keep up everything was pushed to the end and everything ended up getting smashed. I was paid $9.50 (decent for the time)an hour in 1983 during college to do this and prided myself on NOT letting this happen and it rarely did, I worked hard. Today, 27 years later those same workers start at $9.00 an hour without a college education in site and I highly doubt anything about their job gives them a decent reason to do anything to even remotely care about any of the packages.
