    I also get paid by the hour, but ain't working anywhere near that hard!
    I worked for a small produce company many years ago. We had one Chinese restaurant, they would order 15-20 cases of cabbage at a time. Plus a lot of other vegetables. Usually twice a week. Cooler was in the basement, down about 20 steps that were about 7" wide. Had to pull the old stuff out, put the new stuff in back, and then put the old stuff up front, rotate their product for them. With everything you delivered. Almost fell down the steps too many times to count.

    No thanks!

    Thanks. That's too much work to give back to the government. I paid a click over $20k last year in income tax alone.
    Not going to do it anymore after the year I've had.

    Yeah with all the overtime you get from here you’re most likely paying the government. After i have 9 months here ( which will add up a year in my experience ) ill try and see if i can get into fedex freight or ups freight maybe even hauling liquid. Something where im just dropping off and going. The money is very good here dont get me wrong but i dont think this job is worth doing for a lifetime lol you’ll have no back by the time you’re like 40. I’m 6’5 and theirs alot of stairs and alot of basement drop offs. Just gonna stick here for a little while and save some money and see where i go in the future.

    I was just hired there today as a shuttle driver. Seems like it's going to be a decent paying gig. We shall see.

    Who cares. Work is work and your getting paid by he hour. My son works for US foods and makes Bank. When I was slow, he ask me to go apply and guaranteed I would get a job there, I said “No Thank You”.... :D
