Finally found something good about parking lot duty
Permalink   


My biceps and triceps seem to have grown by around a millimeter or so.
They're definitely bigger than they were before I started at Kroger seven months ago.

It's like my quadriceps and my calves.
I ride a bicycle everywhere I go (for now).
And since work is three miles away, that's at least six miles in a single day.
Add in all the running around and fast movement, and my calf muscles are noticeable large.

My sister is a runner. She's even run in the Atlanta Peachtree Road Race.
We were joking about it the other day.
I asked her about my legs  (I was wearing shorts at the time) and she joked "Yea, they're huge!"

So, if anything else, this stupid company is saving money with a gym membership.
Therapy bills, now, I may have to look into those........... noconfuseblankstarebiggrin

That... sounds like the premise of some random pr0n.

 

 

Good for you, though. It's always nice to stay in shape.

I never had the 'good fortune' of being a cart pusher. I do admire those who do it. I see them handling 12 plus carts going thru the parking lot dodging cars & other obstacles. Then some have small hills. Not for me ...

Back when I had to push carts I kept telling myself "what ever doesn't kill me, will just make me stronger". It was cheesy advice nonetheless, but it actually motivated me. Especially when the first of the month came around. It was just a never ending loop of cart pushing all day that day and it felt like I wasn't getting anything done because of all the darn welfare recipients that would take all the carts from the cart lobby after I'd push a ton in. But day by day I noticed my endurance getting better and better and I could last alot longer out there than when I first started.

All that hard work still isn't worth that measly ol $7.25 an hour. Not even thieves work that hard.

i actually like doing it for that reason.

but even though i'm on the board to do carts, i can never do it since i'm cross trained as a cashier and they are always short handed.. :(

This.

 

 

Being in dairy actually developed my muscles more than being in the front end or grocery.

 

 

Those milk crates DO add up. xD

Yep, working in diary will give you a workout! Putting milk up, moving those milk crates around for space, those boxes of juices/etc.
