Just like I know the place I dishwashed at for 7 years, very few would have lasted at that position for 7 years. 

Ever have a pile of pots and pans and  Mt Everest sized pile of dishes after an Easter Sunday? One might do that for a day, or a summer, but I did that for 7 years. I can't even begin to think how hard it is to work in a hot field for the same time.


Who do you think works in such positions  when teens and college kids are in school?

The restaurant where I worked was a supper club.  It was open at night...when we teens were available for the work.  The only adults were the cooks and the waitresses.  Yeah, there were no waiters.  Guys where I grew up did farm work.

No, the only adults were cooks and waitresses?


HA HA HA  HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHHAHAHAH

Maybe in the stint you did. But in the real world adults are behind the counter, your hostess, and your dishwasher too. 

I have worked at multiple restaurants, and every single time, we had every age at every position you could think of. 

I worked at a Papa Johns and had store managers who had pimples and drivers who had wrinkles.

I agree.

I agree.


Quote:If you got out of it farm labor as quickly as you could, then again, SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH, if you claim to know how hard it is. 

Don't tell me to shut up.  You're not my REAL mum.

And, for the record, I've probably harvest more crops than you've eaten.


Quote:There are still others who still do it, and have done it longer than you. DONT PISS ON THEM appreciate them.

I said that ONE comment by ONE woman was stupid (and it was).  I said nothing about her personally, nothing about her work ethic.  How is that pissing on anyone?

Boru

I am sure you have harvested more crops than I have. I have harvested absolutely ZERO,! Which is why it makes no sense to me why you'd object to what that migrant was saying. 

I can admit I don't want do do what she did, or you claim to have done.

But for you to claim nobody should or does look down on that work is bullshit.
