Okay, now I'm really curious. What do they say?

The yellow sticker usually correspond to what tote they belong in and the order they're in for the delivery route, first thing you typically do is unpack a tote in the truck and sort them by number for ease of access.

My brain wants to trigger this sorting mode whenever I grab my packages, and it just reminds me of that terrible job.

Amazon has a system of desperate contractor companies that are absolutely reliant on amazon since they own the warehouses, trucks, and everything, but are also a moment away from having their contract ended, basically destroying the company. As a result you're not really respected even if your employer tries hard to, they just can't care for employees at risk of dissolving.

I worked in a warehouse, they're mostly just storage locations.

We're not mentioning the disco sticker, for obvious reasons.
