When I worked at a grocery store I used to do pretty much everything around the store. Pushing shopping carts back in the winter was the worst. I remember many times people being pissy because they had to get a cart that was wet. Oh boo fucking hoo.

Pushing shopping carts back in the winter was the worst.

statistically one of the most dangerous jobs too iirc

I had plenty of close calls with drivers doing it. People do not simply look behind them when backing up.

yeah even without drivers pushing around shit on snow and ice with probably no PPE provided besides maybe a jacket isnt great, add hundreds of dipshits in cars to the mix... its not good

Wonder if it was before laws passed on that, because it was back in the early 2000's or since it was a small grocery store no one simply gave a shit.
