Consider Lines
Boxes lined up – we may easily drop off so we do not wait in line. And doesn’t this photo depict a snippet of our culture right now?

Closing slideshow – went digging into the 2016 archives for a little throwback with these “lines” in some photos – remind me of some special memories that year.

I love the message on the palm, Yvette. We do live in a world of consumerism. I don’t buy things I don’t need but most people seem to buy for the sake of it.

Some wonderful examples in your slide show Yvette – and your wall of boxes is so telling! I will admit I’ve taken to online purchasing due to an unwillingness to go into stores whenever I can avoid them. I feel a bit guilty about it, and always try to combine my purchases into a single shipment but oh my, can you imagine the amount of cardboard in trash bins the world over?!

hi tina – it is not really the cardboard that worries me –
it is the plastic sleeves and plastic air packs in so many of the items that are shipped – the boxes break down but all that plastic?
and good for you for combining your items when possible
i wonder when that will be mandatory ? like a person’s orders will be held and pooled together for 48 hours? not sure but the free and fast shipping has been a successful marketing idea

I agree Yvette. I save all of that too and reuse it. Came in handy at Christmas 😊

Love seeing those boxes with items to be delivered to people houses. I think they are like gifts that ones are waiting for. 🙂
LikeLike
hi YC – i think those items were actually all the returns – and i was told there was a room in the back that was full – so that changes the mood slightly – but i know what you mean – gifts 🎁 and goodies 📦 for folks to enjoy

well it was a good assumption because you are right – when boxes are lined up to be delivered there are so many treasures for folks – and stuff can be so nice

I’m not a believer in palm reading but in this case, let’s go for it! 🙂 That first shot brings back bad memories of the Christmas package glut at the post office. We’ve become a society that wants everything immediately. Sad and ultimately a problem when that desire permeates every part of our lives. A lack of patience, a short attention span, and the like are detrimental to the individual and to society.
I enjoyed the slide show. Enjoy your Sunday.

thanks janet!
you sure summed it up well
and we recently bought a foam pad from Linux and i was chucked when they sent a notice saying if it was not delivered by such and such a date –
we could get a full refund” ??
i was like “what?”
and then i realized they took their fast shipping seriously and thought that was cool. it arrived right on time –
but reminded me of how the delivery industry has evolved – before the pandemic and all the more during

And at a glance I see a ton of Amazon boxes … Amazon: right place, right time and to think of their humble beginnings, selling books in their garage. We should all be so innovative, not to mention lucky.

I agree – and luck has a lot to do much so much business success – as does savvy leadership and then effective managers and a good system – seems as if Amazon did a lot of things right and continue to do so –
they remind me of maybe what the railroads were back in the day – powerful empires meeting needs and giving people employment – and many low paid workers too – but guess that goes with the business strategy –

I know people complain about Amazon as it takes away from the small business owners and I do feel badly for them, but COVID also has changed the way that people shop … in that respect, the mom and pop businesses would be doomed as well. Like the railroads shuttling items by criss-crossing the countries, Amazon does the same thing … you cannot fault them. We have several Amazon hubs here and they provided a lot of jobs.
