23. FedEx has been the worst around here

I mean, all the local networks have done a story about how short staffed and backed up they are. It took almost three weeks for a package to arrive and most of that time it was parked locally, probably in a trailer that they couldn’t unload because they didn’t have the personnel.

I found the easiest thing g to do was to reroute the package to a local FedEx shop. The last mile delivery is what was going to take so much longer. If I were ordering some stuff from Amazon, I’d have it delivered to the local Whole Foods store to get it faster.

IMO, we are seeing the first signs of the breakdown of systems CrispyQ Oct 2021 #1
