its very funny to me that in reselling/"flipping" circles, putting "FRAGILE" stickers on your packages is widely regarded as like, not just ineffective but anti-effective, like many people will swear up and down FRAGILE labels are universal KICK ME signs in the eyes of postal carriers.

In the year 2571, a USB drive was found in a pile of rubble on the ruins of a certain blue planet. What you are about to witness are not the contents of the drive. This is an entirely different recording.

i worked for the post office during christmas 2021-2022. i can absolutely confirm that people absolutely beat the fuck out of those packages in the warehouse, no matter what stickers they have on them. i don't think i saw anyone treat it extra hard because of a FRAGILE sticker, though.
my job was going into the warehouse of the main post office in the area, and sorting packages that came in from trucks. "sorting" in this case meant grabbing the packages out of giant wire mesh carts, then scanning them with a huge ceiling-mounted scanner which would call out which bin you had to put them in with a loud robotic voice. after that, you'd be expected to throw the package as hard as you could, across the room, into the correct bin.
it was a time for sure. paid really well, but the hours were extremely long and my body couldn't take it.
i want to add to this by saying that this is why the millions of people across the USA always get their packages (reasonably) on time.... because a lot of people are sweating in warehouses to get it done. or else they're fired.
