So I need to get a couple pairs of 45 pound olympic plates. Issue is, I haven't been to a store for real since March and I'm not inclined to go out now considering the case numbers.

But it also feels like a dick move to order like 180 lbs of weight plates lol. I mean that's a lot to make since ups driver carry, I'm in an apartment too so it's even more of a hassle. I mean at least we're on the first floor.

I guess I could just continue to hold off buying them but I've been doing that since covid drove the price of exercise equipment up and I kind of need them to keep making progress on my lifting

No it's fine. Most heavier weights are delivered by their freight trucks so those guys have the equipment to be able to carry it to your door. Most others will just use a dolly on items up to 150lbs

It's generally not your regular UPS guy doing it. They're on pretty strict schedules. Even a few instances of heavy ass shipments a day would throw them off.

Whoever is delivering it is essentially a specialist. Youd be more frustrating if you ordered 60lbs at a time and it went through your normal guy.

Make sure you add to the delivery instructions to do lunges with the package all the way to the door.

Are they all coming on the same day? He'll just use a dolly if so. Your UPS guy won't love it but he's making crazy overtime right now and most other packages this time of year are generally light. More goods like clothes and less...well, what you bought. Plus they often have a driver helper this time of year too.

That's not considered essential so you're unnecessarily stressing the supply chain and delivery services, which we've been asked not to do.

How do ass weights work? Do you tie them around your hips or just clench them between your cheeks?

60 nuggets isn't even bad. only annoying if they have to use the fryers to make other stuff at the same time. but throwing a bag of nuggets in 2 fryers for an order isn't a big deal. the ones that suck is when i worked there and people would come in and order like 50 double cheeseburgers, 50 mchickens and like 200 nuggets for a party. not as big of a deal if they told us a day or like 6 hours ahead of time. sucked when it would just randomly show up on the screen during lunch/dinner rush.

but TC just order your weights. either they can handle it or they have a specialty driver that can. you can buy couches and crap on amazon so they have people that can deliver it.

I mean, having had jobs, as most people have, I can tell you that complaining about what I signed up for sounds like a bitch move.
