This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's how I learned to code. Got a night security job to pay bills and just took my laptop there. In my whole time there I had to get up from my desk maybe 2 times because some drunk dudes would get lost and stumble into the territory lol

Home Depot is an hardware shop in the USofA, right?

If so, why is an hardware store open overnight? What DIY emergency can come about that it can't wait for working hours?

I worked retail at a major store ~45k sqft and we had people come in at 2-3am and work until 10-11am “stocking shelves”. Thing is, part of our closing duties when it wasn’t busy was to restock the shelves. So most of the time the people stocking just ducked around for 8 hours. They were always super chill but had terrible weed.

Ok, but what are the benefits? Is there a union? $17 is barely more than minimum wage.

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

The federal minimum is less than half of that

Less than, in some places

Home Depot getting inventive with their recruiting strategies

Why not cut out the walking around in a store for 8h and still getting paid 17$/h. Universal Basic income now!

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 34 points 2 days ago

I hear what you're saying but the walking was probably the best part of that job. Barring disability, walking is so good for our bodies.

Where is $17 a lot of money? In your parents basement??? I guess tendies would be covered for this greentext. Get an education and get double that, still be broke, and still work until your mental breakdown, at which point if all of you's can organize your break downs to align, we might be able to take that mental anguish out of the 1% families who's houses are burning in the palisades. Yeah I said it, the universe hates the palisades. Burn baby burn.

Applies to all Palisades equally
