I'm saying I don't think its feasible whether she would put up with it or not.
If she's walking 12 hours a day for an 8 hour shift, she has 4 hours to sleep and eat? I think someone's exaggerating here or something. I'm leaning towards the story is fake, but I haven't really tried to verify it.
It looks like she only walked home from work, and didn't need to walk both ways. I can't confirm if she was getting full-time hours at work. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/11/04/gofundme-fedex-worker-darlene-quinn-12-mile-walk/4154337002/
She is likely taking about 4 hours to walk each way.
I had to walk 18km to and from work for a while, but I was (likely) in better shape than her, so the 18 km took me three hours.
Walking at six miles an hour is running speed.
I used km in my post, so the speed is about 3.75 miles per hour.
