And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
First assignment beyond bagging groceries and pushing carts was to sort all of the returned bottles. Made the mistake of doing a good job so I had to start every shift doing it. Those bottles were so nasty, full of gum, come, cigarette butts, piss, and sheet… 🤮
Well you never worked in any of the bottle rooms on my coke route in the late 70's. I did all my own sortin' and yes, it was nasty. To this day I still pick microscopic pieces of glass out of my hands. I got paid 7 cents a case for empties returned to the plant and I usually did about 300 cases a day. Got 20 cents a case for product delivered to the stores and did about 300 cases a day too. Decent coin but it will wear you out hard.
We were a small store, it benefited us to play nice with the vendors. Corona glass is the worst, blows up into sub-atomic particles which cause agonizing pain 20 years after embedding in your hands.

DeleteI've got an old Double Cola crate. Too bad it doesn't have the partitions.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No Mountain Dew?
ReplyDeleteIt’s a Pepsi product so it goes in their crates. I worked for Pepsi for over a decade and I’ve never personally seen a MD crate.
