That, and it really doesn't matter who blocks who first. You still get the references if someone replies to someone you block. " You are blocking xxxxxx. Click here to view anyway."
ran stores for 2 chains,
first was non union, to the point that if anyone did organize, they were told do it and we close the store,
the other was a union shop,
the non union had a payscale that was flexible, as in a baggers wage scale may start at say $7, (been out of the business 8 yrs, not sure what wages are there now) and top out at $10, with 50cent increments, so as a manager, I could hire a bagger at any slot on that scale,
train them to run a register and they went to a different job class and the scale changed, etc etc,
dept clerks were much higher, and some positions got a premium
when I switched (W/D went bankrupt, pulled out of VA) to a union shop, the scales worked differently,
in this are, in 2004 till I got out of it in 2015, it was all scale based,
you got points for time in the business, and points for experience in different depts,
so a basic bagger, never worked a day in his/her/they life, got in at basicall minimum wage (wanna say $7.25 then,) but a clerk hired for a dept with 20 yrs exp, and experience all the depts, would be hired at top of the scale,, then about $10.50 maybe $11, and would not get a raise since they were at the top of the scale unless the contract called for it, (in the non union company that employee would be hired in at $12 or better and get a raise every year)
contract was extremely weak, and those that paid (Va is a right to work state, you did not have to join to work in a union shop) the $10 or so a week in dues got basically nothing for it,
Worked as a concrete laborer for 2.50/hour in 1966I made $5/hr roofing in the mid-'80s (working alongside illegals and convicts), and that was a FUCKTON more than the other HS kids slinging icecream or working a cash register. It was "real" hard work, but I loved the fact that I worked as hard as the men and got paid for it. In fact, some of them didn't like me because of how hard I worked. My paychecks had massive girth for a 14 y/o. I had knives, swords, Jivaro Blowguns, and all sorts of geedunk shit out of the back of Soldier of Fortune that ya'll could only look at the pitcher and dream about.
Then min wage was 1.62/hr in my AO
I did pretty well
Just got these from Amazon. I am headed down to WalMart to the produce section.
How many bow kills?
In the early 90’s, I took what money I had and started a whorehouse. I ran that fucker by hand for a couple years until I could get any girls hired. Hard work, Kleenex, and sweat will get you far in this world.
I'd buy a bunch of that stuff just for the fun of having it displayed.
One of the few things they do well, the Saudi’s usually solve that problem within a month of the crime.
Nope, just providing some wage data I found for 1975.
I'm assuming the image you pasted was for 2024. I have no idea what bearing that has on 1975-1978 facts.
I found that same information for 2024 but it wasn't relevant to a 1978 discussion ... here, let me add the link to where you copied the image.

Damn. I don’t guess I’ve been as successful farming as this guy.

They're not MY facts. I posted the links to everything, even your irrelevant facts about 2024 salaries which you just posted again which is SALARIED not HOURLY.
Which one are you claiming? You were a salaried worker or an hourly wage worker?

I’ve blocked just a couple window lickers that can’t take a hint from our resident sommelier of cellulite @Dirty D
The irony is that these soulless muppets lack any self-awareness to consider they’ve earned a spot on my very short shit list. In other words, if you think i may have blocked you: congrats, you’re not.
It's my birthday so my wife bought me scallops for dinner because she knows it's my favorite. Of course she doesn't know how to cook them and cannot be trusted around cast iron or carbon steel pans so here I am cooking my own birthday dinner. Apple pie for dessert.
I was born in 1956.....graduated HS and started running heavy equipment (Operating Engineers), but decided that wasn't a career move. Started a career, got married, looked at houses and was amazed at the $$$ for what we were getting. SO, I decided to build my own house, figuring I could get twice, or triple the house, for the same amount of $$$. Found some property, designed and drew the blue prints up, and started building. Remember, I was working 40-50 hrs/week AND building a house on my weekends. Decided to save $$$ by building the garage first and setting it up like a studio....we lived in that 3+ yrs while I finished the 1st floor. We moved into the house (1st floor) while I finished the 2nd floor. 2150 sq. ft, split level....I did everything but the sheetrock/texturing and the cabinets. Got it totally finished 7 yrs later. The reason for this story? AFTER I finished the house, several guys I worked with commented on how nice it was to 'have money' to afford something like what I was living in, conveniently forgetting I BUILT it! Told them to go fuck themselves. They said I was an asshole! No one decided to do it my way.....they just wanted to bellyache, bitch, moan, whine, complain about NOT having what I had.
My point.....
