I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.
The first time I crossed the border into Oregon years ago and started pumping my own gas, the attendant came out shouting “Hey! What are you doing?” As someone that had never heard of this law in either state, I was about as confused as you could possibly be, because this obviously seemed like a trick question.
Just reinforces my belief that America is a bunch of weird different countries smashed together under a bastard flag.
