Well, thanks, CapK, for that. Really.
There was a horrible flood somewhere in the South here years ago. All kinds of organizations gathered supplies and UPS offered to ship the supplies free-of-charge to flood victims.
I personally knew a UPS supervisor who took a truckload of goods down to one of the hard-hit locations. He returned disgusted with the results. People at the contact point unloaded the supplies, began talking about what looked good, what they could take home, and carelessly tossed many supplies into a big heap. A storm was coming up and they made no provision to protect the supplies.
Now I'm sure this doesn't always happen, but the person I knew said he'd never again be party to such unorganized, poorly managed efforts--and he really felt bad for the churches and schools that had gone to the trouble to load up the tractor trailer.
Not to report something disturbing, but.
