So you think if the cart guy helped out the full time in the remote orders they wouldn’t reduce a head count from that role? You know very little about how businesses run.

You could call me a cunt, but you’re either naive or don’t give a fuck about anything other than having acres of space for your SUV.

As someone who has done this job, I promise you, there’s always another task to accomplish. Normally the cart fetchers are also the store’s defacto janitorial staff, and there’s plenty of cleaning to be done at a grocery store. You are ignorant in this arena.

Why do you think there is always another job to accomplish? Do you think that work magically appeared out of nowhere? Do you think your colleagues are slacking or do you think they had removed a head count from the cleaning staff because the cart staff will now do that role?

I dunno about nowadays but where I’m from Cart Boy was totally a single function job in retail stores. You’d be hired just to gather carts. My friend liked it when people left them further away cuz they’d have an excuse to dawdle a bit and not interact as much with annoying customers.

For me, we primarily spent time bagging groceries until a decent number of wayward carts built up. Then we would collect them until there were only a few stragglers that weren’t worth collecting by themselves and go back to bagging. Nowadays it would probably be gathering stuff for instacart orders instead.
