Wait what? When I had a bagboy job when I was like 15 I didn't have any union dues.

I worked at a union grocery store as a part time bagger/cart jockey and everyone was a dues-paying UCFW member. IIRC my bi-weekly deduction was something like $15, while full-time employees paid substantially more. I'm generally pro-union but we literally got nothing out of it, no benefits and if they wanted to fire you the union wouldn't lift a finger on your behalf - they once fired another bagger because they suspected he had stolen a donut from the bakery, and despite a lack of evidence the union refused to get involved.

Holy poo poo. I'm so glad I didn't have to deal with that. Granted when I was working as one I was probably too young to fully grasp the concept of unions but that's messed up.

I just wasn't allowed to work past 10PM. Still made poo poo wages, but sadly it goes with the job.

I have generally good memories, you can definitely do far worse as a minimum/near-minimum wage under 18 part time employee.

It was a pretty chill job, working after school I never had to deal with the rear end in a top hat managers (they all cleared out 15-20 minutes after my start time) and I preferred to push carts for as long as they'd let me stay outside, which was pretty long considering I was one of maybe three people who preferred it to bagging groceries.

I worked as a cook at KFC for around three years and got chicken juice/blood in my mouth and eyes dozens of times while breading chicken too fast, and have eaten very undercooked chicken by accident a couple times and nothing ever happened so I think I built up an immunity to salmonella.

My phone was probably covered in raw chicken germs all the time from using the calculator app while counting chicken for inventory too, come to think of it.

I worked in a full service meat department part time recently as a second job. We handled raw everything there. Every Saturday night, the whole meat case was emptied and cleaned out thoroughly. My dogs loved how I smelled when I got home though. :laugh: Raw meat isn't scary as long as it's fresh.

Drill several quarter-inch holes in the bottom so the rainwater runs right out. Do that to your outdoor garbage/recycling bins too -- my garbagemen understandably tend to not take the time to close the lids when it's raining.

Or just buy an old golf bag at a thrift store for your garden tools and keep them in the shed. :v:

ABLOO ABLOOO I'm not making 100K shoving poo poo into bags :cry:
I barely make over 20K a year. I work second shift, and do pool work on the side with a guy.
I have bins set up outside, to sort scrap able metals into. The premise that there is literally nothing else beside bagging is quite silly.

Okay, accepting your premise that there is literally 100% nothing else you could do besides bag boy, then leave.
In the 70s, my stepfather had to travel to Texas to do sheet metal work. It being the 70s, and rural Arkansas, yeah there wasn't a whole lot of options.
Say you can't leave because of family? Mexicans do it all the time. Find work, mail back the money.

poo poo sucks now. poo poo has sucked before, and will suck again.
No, things aren't as good as it was in the 90s, or the 50s, or the 20s.
You do what you have to get by.

No one said they should make $100k. They should make a living wage. So should you. You shouldn't have to work as much as you do for the bare necessities of life.

There are massively overqualified people working as bag boys and fast food workers and convenience store clerks because it IS the only job they can find and they DO have families to support.

Also nice ad hominem - when did I say I was a bag boy or make this about me?

What meaningful job experience can be gain from packing other people's groceries? Paying people to push a rock up hill and let it roll back down would probably be more meaningful and less demeaning.

Actually it's not demeaning at all and it teaches a lot of good skills. Like not acting like this, for example.


Case in point: my fiancee's brother acted like a massive douche bag all the time until he got a job in the real world bagging groceries and he realized you can't actually get away with acting like that for your whole life. Now he's a cool dude.

Your "case in point" is someone who didn't learn that he shouldn't act like an rear end to other people without the possibility of punishment for his actions. That's the lowest level of moral development, the one people are expected to grow out of once they're out of diapers.
Lifehack: Progress to at least the reward-seeking stage so people don't think you deserve to work a poo poo job for poo poo pay.
