I'm sure it was intended to sound very "draconian." People that aren't familiar with manual labor are quite often "shocked" at how -- laborious -- it can be. I think the "reporter" was a bit of a wuss, myself. "They made me walk until my widdle feet hurt." How many other huge warehouse gigs did he check out for comparison?
