Were 1990s Russians dumbfounded when they first visited capitalist grocery stores?
Yes. Back in the 1980s before the USSR collapsed there was a call for locals to host some Russian seamen for a few days. We volunteered and wound up with a guy named Deniz. He was the stereotype of a Russian. He was friendly, back slapping and very gregarious. We all took a liking to him immediately. The moment he entered our house he was dumbstruck. What shocked him:Microcomputer: he said that Russian computer scientists would maybe see a computer. He'd seen one in pictures. We had an atari game console and an apple computer. He was shocked when he found out that every classroom in our elementary school had a computer. He was also amazed that not only did we have pocket calculators but we had many, many calculators. Calculators were apparently very expensive in the ussr at the time.Groceries:People have written that Russians were shocked to see grocery stores. Deniz was shocked to see what could be bought at a five-and-dime. Most places were closed for the holidays but he was shocked to see so many canned goods and fresh fruit, including lemons and bananas. Oh, and toilet paper.He also, as many people have said here, thought it was a propaganda trick to show only certain stores. Fortunately the Publix and Winn Dixie are catty corner to each other and we wound up visiting both.ATMs: dad needed cash for something and went to the teller machine outside of Publix. When he saw this he was convinced it was some trick and went in and out of the store several times to verify there wasn't someone there behind the screen.Building: Deniz was really impressed with the amount of work people did on their own homes. I guess that wasn’t something done in Russia?In any case, he had in interesting time with us, we even gave him one of our calculators. He picked through them and found one that took batteries he recognized.
The function t(x) = x + 6 determines how many cans of soup a food truck needs to stock, where x is the number?
1. Given f(x) = x-1/2 , solve for f^-1(5). a. 2 b. 9 c. 11 d. 15 2. The function t(x) = x + 6 determines how many cans of soup a food truck needs to stock, where x is the number of shifts the crew is going to work in the truck. The crew uses c(t(x)) to find the amount of money to spend on soup. The function c(x) = 2x + 4. Solve for how much money must be spent when the crew is going to work 4 shifts. a. 24 b. 28 c. 30 d. 34

What are the different warehouse storage systems, and for what type of merchandise are they used ?
Warehouse storage can roughly be broken down to three categories: shelving, containers and pallets. While pallets are intended for transport, they often end up serving as interim storage tools. Obviously, shelves house containers, and the two necessarily go together.For photos and more details about specific products, see my company’s website: Plastic Containers from Flexcontainer.Materials include many types of plastic (from light to super heavy-duty), steel, wire, fiberglass, and wood. You’ll also see metal and plastic corrugated which have specialized purposes such as electronics storage and other materialsAs warehouses grow larger, hold increasingly varying products, and become more mechanized, modularity and stackability is increasingly important. Many of the products you see today are designed to scale and make transportation and reorganization as efficient as possible.As Jesse’s answer is more focused on shelving, I’ll focus on containers. Here are of the major container functional categories:Divider systemsHopper front containersAttached lid containersNestable containersTotesConductive containersCollapsible containersBulk boxesBinsSleevesShippersMailersCasesThere are lots of sub-categories underneath each. It’s incredible to think that all of the words products are more or less stored on or in some variation of these containers!Your question also talked about what merchandise is stored in each of these containers. Without more narrow criteria, the answer could fill a book. Rest assured if you have a product to store, there’s a container out there waiting for you. Here are a few types of highly specialized containers:Bakery containersProduce containersRecycle/curbside containersPostal totesPharmacy binsGas cylinder cartsTools binsMedical storageIf you’d rather categorize pallets as containers, you really have two options:Plastic palletsSteel palletsSee Plastic Containers from Flexcontainer for more detail on any of the categories listed here.
