“Parcel Pickup” is the 6th track on the Flashbacks album, a tribute to my first job as a grocery store employee.
I started working part-time at Sobeys during the summer of 1988 between my first and second year at SMU in Halifax.
Remember the big red bins and rollers that transported them to a loading area for pickup? Back when customer service was still a thing...
The lyrics recall the trials and tribulations of a typical shift of the never ending busyness of the front-end: hours full of price checks, spills, jar piles of carts and ultimately bin screw ups.
