The 'somebody' here is a robot, of course.
One thing, from several visits to the Ottawa Processing Plant, is that the video producers reduced the noise level considerably.
None of the workers were wearing earmuffs/headsets.
My experience was that, except in the handstamp room, the noise was literally deafening. All conversations were in a shout and workers tended to speak pretty loudly even outside the plant.
The handstamp room should be explained.
We shipped a few hundred catalogues four or five times a year.
As stamp dealers we used older postage stamps to pay shipping.
And as stamp collectors our customers moaned about pen cancels and even bar cancels.
So.
The plant, and I suppose every plant, has a room where workers on partial disability (say a sprained ankle) would handstamp some of the mail.
Weird shapes, too small for the machines, and of course our highly decorative envelopes.
Our delivery of the catalogues was greeted with some enthusiasm, since the job was pretty repetitive for the most part.
And our customers were happy too.
