Age has nothing to do with it. They are more experienced than you in the industry therefore are your boss. Anyone that looks down on their superior because of age is a jackass who doesn't deserve to have a job.

This thread made me think of the time that dude was trying to find a job for his cousin Randall. I actually enjoyed those threads

You damn right. I don't even have a family and when I burned my life to the ground at 40, I walked 2 miles to work and back to wait tables at Outback until I could afford transportation. I had some breaks and help after I busted arse for 3 months and my loved ones saw I was serious about getting my life back.

You do what you have to do. There is no other choice. Make it work or kill yourself and I refuse option #2.

Man I love to stock and when I had my hardware stores clean, well stocked, and fronted shelves were my pet peeve. People would complement me on how clean my stores were.

In high school I rocked as a stocker at a grocery store and my two aisles were perfect when I left.

Nothing more satisfying to see all the products beautifully displayed, shelves clean, endcaps full, and rotate your product newer dates in back.

Heck I would do it just to show these millennial kids that I could stock rings around them.

TSRH. I was a stock boy at a grocery store throughout highschool and I killed at it. Probably the best I’ve ever been at any job . I’d show up and they’d give me a section to be responsible for and I’d murder that shite for 8 hours. The days flew by and my section was always impeccable

If you are laid off, its hard to take a job when you get $600/week extra on top of the unemployment amount. You gotta be working 50 hours a week at Kroger to break even.

Technically, it’s $540 a week, bc it’s taxed. People who made minimum wage $7.25 @40 hours a week are now making $636 a week/$15.90 an hour post tax.
