” Unemployment is high right now.”.

I would not want to work in a grocery store check-out line right now, especially if the government insists on sending my extra unemployment cash.

I was impressed with how my local Costco is handling this - plastic screens for the cashiers, electronic payments only and store cards are held up by the customer to be scanned.

See, I would.

I’ve avoided such jobs as standing on my feet all day would wreck me. But otherwise I would and I do (drive a cab).

I fight against any sort of government dole. I’ve qualified for unemployment before and accepted it but they cheated me out if my legit benefit and never made it right. We had to fight for years for disability “insurance” for a near dead man, no argument as to the severity or ongoing nature of his disability just bureaucratic malfeasance. Hired attorneys and all, finally “won,” such an embittering experience. I am required by my government to have health insurance so I take their socialized thing to avoid breaking the law- but I pay cash for my yearly doctor visit etc., don’t use it.

I just have a strong sense of patriotism and a desire to avoid dependency also a serious lack of trust-
