Interesting

I spent a great deal of my life in shipping and receiving, yet can't quite get my mind around the activity here. A real puzzle and will enjoy sitting and looking at it to try to figure it out. The game is afoot.

What A Mess

How could they possibly manage a mess like that. The labels appear to be on the packages, or does she label them and then toss them on the pile. I guess the next person then sorts them so they can be put into delivery areas. Somehow they got them delivered.
