What's humiliating about being a cart manager? It's a need and most folks generally appreciate it. My buddy was one for a while and he was able to maintain his physical fitness while feeling like he was able to genuinely help others, it was really only the poor pay that was a problem.

I just told you what's humiliating about it- Being forced to work in all kinds of weather doing something only because people are too rude to do it themselves. I'm glad your buddy didn't find ingratiating himself to people who are richer and more successful than him humiliating, but in general, most people would. Maybe he should look into becoming a butler.

Are you too proud to handle customers or something?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"Handle customers" and "clean up after lazy, entitled customers" are two very different things.

Yes always. Handling customers is doing things like helping them with their purchases. Not cleaning up their messes after they're already gone.
