Several years ago, a friend and I were out of town and looking for something to do one evening, so we decided to see the new Jim Carrey movie "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective". The opening sequence in which he impersonates a UPS employee making a delivery had us both howling, but my friend in particular nearly fell out of his seat...once he could breathe again, he told me he worked for UPS at one time and that the average person has no idea how close to reality that bit really was.

If you haven't seen the movie, the first five minutes alone are worth it.

My son, a college student, also worked for UPS here in OKC. He only worked
for them about a month. His job was the same as David's. He told me he had
10 seconds from the time he touched a box to have it scanned and loaded into
the proper truck. John is absolutely correct that the handlers don't have
time and don't care about any other markings on the box.
