For merchandisers and route workers, the job is physically demanding in a very real way. You drive your assigned route, stock shelves, haul product from backrooms to sales floors, and if you are lucky, you get an afternoon route where you work alone and without much stress. For a part-time role, the pay can feel decent, but the work is still a workout every single shift. Small things, like having enough company-owned floats in stores, would make a massive difference in how exhausting the job feels by the end of the day.
