(although I appreciate some of the holders might feel differently).
- pavel_lishin 6y agoMaybe. I honestly don't know. It probably beats staying in your empty home all day, or being relegated to an old folks' home. I hope I can let you know in 50 years.
- watwut 6y agoPeople who are in old peoples home would be in real pain if they had to stand whole day. Physical pain I mean, old peoples home tend to house people whose health is really gpong down.
- astrange 6y agoIt might be better than booking a doctor appointment every day because you have no one to talk to, which happens with the NHS.
- nemothekid 6y ago>but those jobs provide the literal opposite of dignity I think that has more to do with Walmart than being a greeter. There are plenty of high end luxury shops where there is a well groomed man or woman at the front door who does nothing but greet you and open the door.
- ACow_Adonis 6y agoagain, perhaps it's a personal or a cultural thing, but it's not about the "class" or standard of a joint/employer. It's the idea of a bullshit job + jobs as an ends rather than a means + the additional distasteful nature of being waited upon like that.
