A shipment is ready at an airline’s cargo facility at Miami International, or a load of provisions has to reach a cruise terminal before the ship sails, and somewhere in the planning someone asks whether the drivers have TSA vetting and a TWIC card. It reads like a box on a vendor form, and it…

The week after the holidays, the return counter at a Florida store gets busy in a way the rest of the building is not ready for. Gift returns, wrong sizes, and opened boxes come across the counter all day. The refund takes a minute. Deciding what happens to the product takes much longer, so most…
