Life does a lot, normally figures out how doggy works, but sorry for the language. If anyone here has worked in a cooler before, not just walk in fridges for restaurants or such I am looking for advice. They inquired about boots. I assume I need gloves, but what am I forgetting? ChapStick? Unknown? Please share and if you know what is cheap to acquire maybe recommend what you know. Thanks.

    So you’re going to work in a cooler and your workplace does neither provide you with appropriate work clothes, nor do they even give you any advice on what you’d need?!

      All they asked is if I had boots. Steel toe or not I believe is always debated because steel toe may help against you dropping something moderately heavy on your foot, but if you roll a cart over a steel toe, it general bends into your foot, causing more damage trying to get your food out of said situation.

      From what I saw it’s mostly redistribution of cold product, think like Boars Head meats and such. So I assume hours of reorganizing items from the source to individualized boxes packed for shipping out to grocery stores.

      I needed a quick job in the interim to pay for bills until I find something permanent. The whole ordeal was over quick. Saw someone putting out product at the store, asked him if they were hiring, he gave me a cell phone number and told me give Sam (fake name) a call

      Called him and he told me to meet him at 11 the next day. I walked in, talked and he said to his workers I’m hiring this guy, told me I’ll start Monday, and bring my SS card, ID, and bank info for direct deposit.

      Never started working for a company before the paperwork has cleared, but what the hell.

      I’ll look into the composite toe thing, I likely will need to wait till the end of December to buy new shoes (so I have time to plan those)
