Would you be a restaurant dishwasher for $20 an hour?

@hunkalove Careful mate, she might not let you go...

@hunkalove Maybe if they were still around...

@JimboSaturn I took a job working the 4-12 shift at Arby’s and got paid 50 cents extra per hour and totally rubbed it in my friends faces

@AthrillatheHunt I worked weekends at Dunkin Donuts.

@JimboSaturn obviously before the Indian takeover 😂

@AthrillatheHunt exactly, we had to be because it was work or be broke, and the work available is what we took.

It was a different time in a different world. Many today have choices we didn't have. I will say it gave us older folks grit you don't see today - grit and confidence in ourselves.

That's what I see as being different - our life experiences made most of us "man up" early on.

@Ontheroad grit is the word that perfectly describes my generation (at least here in US).

@AthrillatheHunt we had or got the grit in a different world. I don't blame them or look down on them because of that, but I do feel we have learned to weather the storms that life brings in a different way - grit is simply part of us.

I do think they have or are earning their grit, but it is again, a different type of grit.

I can remember my dad saying we (kids of the time) were soft. And compared to what men of his age had to live through, we were.

I think that's the way it works. The world changes and people change to face the challenges of their time.

Not necessarily for the better or worse, just different.

@emmasfriend gloves? Contempt for germ theory is still required. You'll still know everything.

@emmasfriend I worked in a hotel for 10 years, yea they have machines but someone has to scrape, load, and put back. Also pots still need to be washed by hands.

@swirlie because not everyone can get a license

@Birdbox1986
Then go and wash dishes if you can't get a license!
