    I worked in a grocery store when I was a teenager. I didn’t give a shit about people not returning their carts. It’s my job, it’s not like I’d rather face shelves than walk over to get a cart. Plus they’d usually send us out in pairs so we’d take advantage and shoot the shit while doing it, was a nice break.

    Edit: I will downvote you because your personal experience and opinion go against my feelgood circle jerk.














  • My town isn’t big enough for a Walmart lol. People just hang out at Tim Hortons all day which I agree is lame as shit. But there’s plenty to do if you like the outdoors and most of the stuff you can do in the big city you can do around here. It’s just a longer drive. Like if want to see a movie it’s about a 30 minute drive to the next town over. Laser tag and trampoline parks are like an hour.

    I’d much rather have to travel long distances for recreational activities than for work. My kids actually get to play outside in nature, experience wildlife, eat fresh local produce, go swimming in beautiful lakes. I grew up here and in my teens I wanted to gtfo of this boring place to live in a big city. But as I grew older and spent time in those big cities I realized life was much better for me and my family here.

    Lastly, your point about jobs is 100% correct. Jobs are shit, I’m just lucky we have a federal government office in our town where I can make a decent wage that’s not adjusted for where I live.
