That's probably why I see toilets in places like highway rest stops which are literally vacuum-powered, to suck everything down the drain in a flash.

I thought you were stopping with this Crap?

One of my First Jobs for $2.20 an Hour (Union) was in the Supermarket, and Mr. Alexander demanded the Bathrooms clean when he visited his Stores. Of course Jay is stuck in a $7.85 Job, when the going Rate for Grocery Clerks & Checkers in major Cities is $20 plus! But alas, Jay is a Box Boy, and one of the Jobs required is to clean things. Jay, I just don't see a future with you in the Service Industry?

Yeah, well someone should have told "Mr. Alexander" that cleaning johns and urinals is what janitors do. And if "Mr. Alexander" screamed "Bullshiite", then I would have told him that he better pay me a whooooole lot more than $2.20 an hour to sack groceries, shag shopping carts, AND clean all of that encrusted fecal mattter off of them toilets!!

Now I realize that you're talking about what?, 30 years ago? Well, regardless, it still would have taken much, much more than that $2.20 an hour pittance you got paid back then to get me to put on a rubber housecleaning glove and then go stick my arm into a clogged toilet (right up to my elbow, no less) that's full to the point of overflowing with a murky-brown chili look-a-like substance--highlighted with copious amounts of orange-colored urine, mind you--and try to loosen it up!

And Jay's right! In today's world, it would take more than 7 or 8 bucks an hour to do that sort of thing!

Oh, you betcha!

Well it's not the sort of thing I've ever seen before. But then again if I have, I've made no effort to remember it. :)

You're a rare breed, Robert Bass! You truly are! For indeed, it takes a special kind of person to see something sooo incredibly repulsive and yet, somehow, not have it seared into his or her brain forever. Amazing!
God bless you, is all I can say!

P.S. Congrats on that 500th post of yours. Of course, I should point out to you that you're about 5,400 posts behind Joseph Gallant (R-I's reigning king of posts), but still, 500 posts is something to feel mighty good about!
 
Re: The toilet thing

The year was 1991, I was working at a Woolco store for Minimum wage. There was a customer using the ladies washroom that, aparantly had a fear of using public toilets, so she...

(yes, I cleaned it up, out of pure joy of showing off the fact that I'm a "Hard Worker"...but yes, if it were a toilet problem, I would have put an out of order sign up on the door too...I'M NOT A PLUMBER!)<P ID="signature">______________
