"Away from their families,...grocery store workers"

Nope. Most of them are living with old family members.

And many of them are old.

One manager of a “supercenter” just went on vacation. I wonder how many more...

Good advice! Nothing is worth stealing.

>>Sean Penn? Why? It’s Oprah we need to hear from.<<

For sure! Also, where are Hanoi Jane, Cher, and the multitudes of high-IQ Holly-weirdos? Also, Murderess Hillary has been uncharacteristically quiet. While I’m enjoying her silence, I’m very suspicious of it.

True, but the elites have been given access to tests like they are more important than the truckers and stock boys and gals.

Law and medicine in America is no longer equally applied. The average American gets the shaft and is forced to watch as the elites pay no penalty for any wrong doing or illness.

I am fed up with it.

They only recently went from white shirts and ties to golf shirts. The managers still wear shirts and ties.

Fareway?

I will and you might consider putting this info in a new post by itself, rather than just a thread reply. The whole FReeper community needs to see this info as it was news to me.

Again, thanks so much for what you do, and I will make those calls.

You shouldn’t even settle for two necessarily. The area Im working in presently isn’t paid very well but we have excellent benefits. Its common for our vacation hours to accumulate based on number of hours worked. Though not real recently, its been common for me to work 60-72 hours a week and I have surely worked 94, maybe as much as 104. A person can wind up sitting on a month or more of vacation pretty easily, I think Im coming up on an earned total of two banked, not that any of us can ever find time to take it.

I know truckers cant work like that anymore due to regulations. My point is only that long distance OTRs should definitely be treated differently than the daily short haul guys. As to how to go about making that happen I just don’t know. I don’t think that Im really supportive of having congress involved at all but since they are it shouldn’t take much more than a stroke of the pen as it were but then I suppose they would have to find a way to replace the donations from transportation companies.

But CNN had Sean Penn on to give us his Covid-19 advice.

He's been to Iraq, you know.

Yeah, that might be a bridge too far. Businesses like their cheap freight, consumers like cheap goods. Truckers are the ones taking it in the rear as a result.

Stock “boys?” Very retro.

Shelf restorers?

When I started at UPS, I was a package car driver. When I retired 10 years ago, I was a service provider. Same job, different title that means nothing. A stallion at stud is a "service provider".

Most of the stockers I’ve seen in recent years were women, many of them older women.
