‘Tis the season to be jolly…and buy tons of stuff for others. (And, let’s be honest, get some stuff for yourself, too.) Almost all of us have used Amazon.com to order one item or another, and it’s ridiculously easy to find almost any obscure product you search for on the site. But what you may not consider is how much freaking stuff Amazon must have in its warehouses. I mean, I can order a freaking sushi bazooka and have it on my doorstep in less than a week. Well now you can get a glimpse into the insanity that is Amazon with these jaw-dropping photos of its behind-the-scenes atmosphere!
“Overwhelming” is too light a word to use here, I think. This is insanity! I can barely handle being surrounded by the clutter in my house; I can’t imagine working around so much stuff every day. Sure, they certainly have a highly organized system in place, but man, this is intimidating! Nonetheless, it’s quite interesting to see, and makes me appreciate the random Amazon orders I place just a little bit more! Head on over to the source to see even more photos. [via Buzzfeed]
What do you think of these photos?

It’s not as intimidating as it looks. I worked in a target stockroom and I would imagine this is a similar system on a larger scale. When new product comes in, it it scanned. If it already has a place, the scanner tells you where it goes. If not, the scanner gives you options as to where it could be put. Every department had a few aisles that were usually labeled by letters while the shelves and bins within the aisles were numbered. It was very efficient. And plus I got to see everything before it ever went to the sales floor.
. Ive seen many stockrooms since and none were ever as functional as that one was.

Insanity, I tell you! Insanity!

This is basically how every customer imagines every stockroom in every store must look like.
I worked at American Eagle Outfitters my freshman year of college and our stockroom was dinky and crowded. It was basically a bunch of large shelves on rollers and a garment folding/tagging table; needless to say it wasn’t very big. We’d run out of items all the time and when I’d tell customers that we were out of stock on certain items and didn’t have it in the back some of them would flat-out accuse me of lying because to them our stockroom looked exactly like this. When in reality it was basically a hole with shelves lol.

That is seriously the most annoying GAP ad. It won’t go away and is blocking every picture.
