A little logistics humor

I don’t usually write about logistics and distribution centers on this blog because it’s probably the driest thing I cover (even more than fuel prices!) even if it’s oh so important to the local economy.

But today, at the groundbreaking for another expansion of the Sara Lee distribution center in Rochelle, there was this funny little nugget I couldn’t pass up.

It was under 60 degrees, prompting folks to show up in jackets and hats in July. Sara Lee VP Larry Rogers quipped, “I actually saw someone with hand warmers. That’s for the freezer inside, though, that’s not for out here. It’s not that cold.”
