For anyone who remembers the unlamented Mr. Amazon's Bookshop sequence from the beginning of this year.
Every year amazon.com searches for over 1,000 smart, friendly and dedicated people with a strong work ethic. Amazon's focus is on “working hard, having fun and making history as Earth’s Most Customer Centric Company.”...
...must be able to stand on feet for 8-10 hours, walk 10-15 miles a day, must be able to repetitively lift, bend, stoop, and squat while selecting items.

Warehouse jobs exist for the employment of mole people. The disturbing part of this job description isn't walking 10-15 miles a day, it's that on mile 12 or so someone is going to come by on a dumb little supervisor go cart and ask if you're "having fun."
