The grocery/retail worker Union in my city sucks for newbs. Takes a large chunk of your paycheck every two weeks until you gain seniority after 24 months, then you can be a lazy bastard as much as you want.

Unions are great, some suck.

I should've been a teamster, so lazy and surly...

two years seems like a really long time when you're in the middle of it.

But two years really is a long time to have huge chunk of already low paycheck taken out. ๐Ÿซค How do people survive those first two years?

Mooching off of samples, I'd guess.
