Packets sorting standard?

Post by Tachmonite »

Is there an agreed standard for sorting packets from a shroud into a bullring of 15 shrouds?

Some of our lads argue that there is only an agreed standard for sorting into Drop Bag Fittings, but managers at our MC are making various threats, and are now keeping notes on what individuals are sorting all night.
What gets me is, they are counting all shrouds as full ~ even if they arrive with virtually nothing in them.

True, it can work in our favour; but I notice full shrouds always go to the same people!
