    Due to possible vindictive employee we must tape the lid close, date the tape, log the fill, and sign off.

    Looking into watering stations that are OSHA approved.

      Brought me a pallet of 20-25 cases of 40 bottles yesterday and he took the top 2 layers for himself
      $20 for 20 cases?

        I have been following that pretty closely for several years now. Mexicans are having lots of water issues right across the border.

              I bet we will find tons of pallets down at the border, like we found pallets of baby formula when Americans had a shortage.

                Our delivery yesterday was minus all bottled water and canned water, this is the 3rd time .
                Told my wife we needed to fire sparklets and find a new company, looks like bottled and canned water is just in short supply

                      That would be wonderful if there was an economical replacement.

                        Maybe be less crappy plastic in the waterways & everywhere from sorry people. just drink tap & put in your own container or water cooler. I was at one of the places I wade fish last week & it just made me sick to see all the plastic water & soda pop bottles on the ground. It wouldn't bother me one bit if the made it like bottles in the old days. Return for deposit & charge about a dollar a bottle deposit. MAYBE some would clean up.

                            didn't know that. Just fill several ice chest with water & tell them here it is or bring your own.

                                Be looking for bottled water prices increases. Creating a shortage is a good way to do that.

                                The fish are biting and there's hogs to be kill-t. Gotta go!
