And pay minimum wage.

This one hurt, and I realize how grateful I am for my job, even on Workers' Comp.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, and its not an easy job.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ask me how I know.

How do you know?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I worked at one, briefly, because my boss at another job said they could use the help.

Did you need to stand the entire day? Or where there some seat to sit on (during breaks?).

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 5 days ago

We stood. I didn't get breaks. Only one person was full time and she usually used her 20 or 30 minute break to do personal errands, or sat in her car.
