Has anyone here ever worked for another bulk vendor?

I know there are more than a couple vendors here, myself included, that would like to know how the larger vendors operate. Has anyone here ever worked for a large bulk vendor? If not, has anyone ever considered trying to work for one to gain experience and insight into how they do things? I have wandered past some vendomatic racks recently and found myself wondering about the route person that works my area.

Years ago I worked for a full line vending company (they did some catering and ran some cafeteria locations as well.) I actually ran evenings at a cafeteria for them in a shipping facility for Spartan foods in Mi. I didn't work on the vending side of things just the cafeteria but occasionally I would have to fix the machines at my cafeteria location. It started me thinking about vending in general though and was part of the reason I first got into bulk years ago when I had my small bulk route.
