My son said that's the way it was at the local grain elevator he worked at. It's a fairly sizable operation for a grain elevator with about 20 people in the office. These office people were always warm and friendly to my son at the bar or at a ball game, but at work they changed into a different breed of animal.
The elevator manager would sometimes go out to the pits to help unload trucks just to get out of the office,and to help with the outside work load but the office help thought that was deplorable. Maybe they were afraid he'd start asking THEM to do the same thing. During harvest the outside guys work 12 hour days while the office help go home after 8 hours, except for two ladies who are glad to work long days running the scale. The office help doesn't have to load a train from midnight till eight in the morning. Jim
This elevator can store something like 6.5 million bushels and has taken in 450,000 bushels in one day. Soon they will be sroting 9 million. Jim
