No not really we were required to drive 5 mph and no higher. Most people take that job to waste 12 hours and get paid for doing so.

There are sensors in that truck that detects when it's moving more than 5 miles an hour and only time it can move more than 5 miles an hour if you're driving to a gas station to fill up on gas. Otherwise you end up getting in trouble. I know it piss people off and then it really was more of a danger than anything else because people would get cut me off not knowing what's in front of me nearly hitting pedestrians. I'd find a vantage point and just camp there for an hour until I was told not to do that anymore and just went back to driving extremely slow and ruining customers experiences at the store.

Honestly.... I almost went into the navy with over 200 credits and 2 degrees.they lied to us bro, a college degree really doesn't matter anymore unless it's directly attached to a job, like teacher, nurse...etc. U will be over qualified for damn near everything.... However, two places hire vets over anyone.... Lowe's and AutoZone..... Retail fun right?

I'm sure hes not considering that a living wage. Considering you can make 16.50 starting at McDonald's. Or 25 working for most any reputable auto shop. Which will usually hire heavy equipment mechanics in a second. Especially military trained ones. Sounds to me like he may be on here winning because he doesn't have enough money to buy a brand new Tesla or a million dollar house. A living wage is different than a wage that will support your preferred lifestyle. A living wage means you have to sacrifice creature comforts that most people do not want to sacrifice. A living Wage does not mean your employer pays you enough to eat doordash every day. While driving a brand new car. I think him for his service but advise him to wake up to reality. Just like all of you that keep on bitching about living wages. That don't understand what a living wage is. There is a huge difference in a living wage and a wage that will support most wanted lifestyle. As a business owner it is my responsibility to provide you with a living wage. Not a lifestyle wage. If you want a lifestyle wage work somewhere for more than 10 years to earn it. Or open your own shop. Quit trying to make employers make you just as comfortable in life as they are. They are taking all the risk and you are taking none. They have put in the work and earned it you have not. You are not special and you deserve nothing your parents lied to you. I'm sorry the truth smacks you in the face when you get to the real world. An yes I know I'm going to get more negative karma because I'm telling the truth. People don't want to hear the truth they want to live in their delusions. While crying about their life. I am ex military I opened my own businesses and I earned my own way. Because I wanted a lifestyle not a living wage. And it's nobody else's responsibility to give me that lifestyle.

Omg. Please ignore my first comment as I didn't mean to comment but my phone, when I'm carrying it doing other tasks, randomly makes comments. This is not the first time. I'm so sorry everyone.

Btw, I do not shop at Walmart because I find it less than satisfying.

Fucking liberals and their woke mind disease thinking the poors need to be treated like human beings. If God wanted the poors to have a good life they would have been born rich, trying to change that is upsetting the natural order…God has a plan for all of us and the poors serve their role of giving the rest of us a feeling of superiority. And here you are trying to take my emotional support poors away from me. /s

Reply to Washer and dryer needed by nittoka

Honestly, buy the most basic appliances there are…the analog level devices. Used to be the $400 washer/dryer/fridge…prob 500-600 new now…

A repair on a fancier model could cover the new cost of a simple device…but few really need the features of most appliances.

Plus appliances are now a commodity item and features instead of true innovation is the manufacturer economy.

every single post there is some variation of

"Delete if not allowed. ISO the absolute best but also absolute cheapest burger in town? TIA"

with 36 replies that say "macdonals", one guy being snarky with "my house", someone that managed to tag a restaurant in thailand somehow, and then a side argument over whether vaccines cause foot fungus buried in the replies

I feel you brother, took me a good 2 years to find something after I got out of the Army. Kept getting told I was "over qualified". I can get you an interview where I work, send me a PM and let me know what you are looking for and I'll tell you what we do. (Starts between $16/hr to $20.50/hr depending upon department and such.)

It's kind of a mixed bag though. The term "North Side" implies the entire northern part of Springfield. When in reality, the further north you get from Division St., the better the neighborhoods are. There are also parts of what I would call central-western Springfield that are pretty rough.

The homeless also contribute to a lot of the crime. Residents in the norther parts of Springfield put up with them and generally let them be, South side of town is full of Karen's that want them gone.
