Do you know how next to impossible it is to air condition a large space like that? It is not cost effective. They survived with the door open and very large industrial fans. I'm just saying people have done it for years, decades, centuries. They survived. You can make a warehouse comfortable, but the reality is, that warehouse is never going to be below 90 degrees in the summer. If you don't realize what you're getting into working in a warehouse, you fail to prepare for your job. It is what it is in warehouse work. A bunch of people I know have done it for years. People adjust to the heat.
Have you ever worked out in a warehouse? My husband did it for YEARS, and he was telling me he was comfortable and it didn't at all hurt him. They provided gallons of gatorade and they just drank a lot. And get this: he liked it.
