    you’re entirely correct, but what people are also missing is: if the weather’s nice, getting outside and pushing carts is a welcome break to the fluorescent lights and other drudgery of the store…
    anyone who’s ever actually worked a retail job will tell you that going outside every once in a while is pretty nice.
    picking up trash in the rain sucks, but pushing a cart is leisurely compared to whatever else they’ll have you do.

      We’re definitely on the same side. What many people see as an inconvenience is a job for many. I once had a boss who’s first company was a trolley collection company, he started from nothing, worked hard and sold it for $1m in Australia.
