I order my groceries online every week for pickup at Walmart. This
week, there were several items out of stock, and Walmart said they
would ship them to me. One of them was delivered today by FedEx. It
was in a large box with a Home Depot logo on 2 sides, and a big
FRAGILE on the other 2 sides. What?!, I said to myownself.

What was in it, you might ask - or even if you don't - Bounty paper
towels. Fragile paper towels.

I learned 2 things. I've got to be more careful with my paper towels -
what with them being fragile and all - and the supply chain is more
convoluted than I thought.

But I am impressed that Walmart got Home Depot to ship me some paper
towels in 2 days - even in the midst of all the post-hurricane chaos.

Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.

An abundance of caution is necessary. If you damage them they won’t pick up quickly.
