(13,582 posts)full time. Beverage distributors are a good example. We had a bunch more locally owned and operated distributors in my town back then. Most of them had what were semi-retired older guys they called supervisors or assistant managers. They were notorious for doing nothing most of the time. We slammed them, but most of us thought that if we stuck it out that long, we'd like to have that job, so it was okay.
Now when us guys would be in that position, those jobs are gone. Much of the distribution comes from a bigger city 100 miles away, or like the Budweiser distributor I worked for, the main operation is up there and the old warehouse is just like a depot. They have local drivers to deliver, but that's about it. The office staff and warehouse crew are long gone.
