Stock “boys?” Very retro.
We called the stock boys:
The night-stockers
My oldest son is a rookie cop and pulling 4 12’s this coming week maybe more. My youngest is a high school senior who’s probably finishing his senior year doing online classes. His part time job at sonic as a cook has him now working close to 30+ hours a week so both of them go to work.
Some of us always knew.
But CNN had Sean Penn on to give us his Covid-19 advice.
It was so brave of Sean.
It you have in your heart to write a quick note to your Congresscritter, ask him to be a champion for truckers and get rid of practical miles. Truckers should get the mileage they drive, not post office to post office.
And two weeks vacation. I spend more time away from home than I ever did in the Marine Corps.
I have always known that.
1961-1963 At night the boys stocked the shelves. There were no male cashiers back then.
I still remember Campbell soups being 3/53.
God bless you and I will do as you request.
My first real job was in a supermarket. Same segregation between the sexes. We filled up the shelves and stockroom back then instead of facing shelves and ordering only enough to partially stock shelves. We wore buttondown shirts, shoes that shined and no long hair or beards.
1. DEMAND AND END TO PRACTICAL MILES. Truckers should get the mileage they are driving, not post office to post office mileage that is absent of reality.
2. A WEEKEND NEEDS TO BE DEFINED AS 48 HOURS INSTEAD OF 34. We already spend too much time away from home, more than the average military serviceman does.
3. ALL TRUCKING COMPANIES NEED TO GIVE 2 WEEKS VACATION PER YEAR. This is for the health of the driver to relieve stress and to be with family. One week is a joke.
And ask your Congresscritter to be a champion for us. We do not have a voice because of low pay because Congress decided we were unskilled laborers. Really. I never knew the skill involved until I became a trucker.
Just a thought.
When do all the non-essential BS make-work lefty jobs like Buzzfeed, Twatter, Faecesbook, and the like, have their values dropped down to realistic levels, like ZERO.
They only exist for the sake of theft of our data to be sold for marketing.
But if none of the sheep has any wool, how much WOULD you pay for the opportunity to fleece them?
Looks like most of the California fictitious wealth is going to go bye-bye.
What else will disappear?
Sundance?
So they hired some old cashier...and turns out she was stealing premiums from the store.....expensive items. (Raleigh Coupons)
I still remember what my day said....If you ever think of stealing one penny, you quit.
I’m a truck driver for a medium sized Midwest grocery chain. That’s the way we still do it. High school boys and young men unload the trucks with pallet jacks and load the freezers and shelves. They also wheel grocery carts to the parking lot and load the customers’ groceries in their cars. Cashiers are all female. They only recently went from white shirts and ties to golf shirts. The managers still wear shirts and ties.
Sean Penn? Why? It’s Oprah we need to hear from.
