Most of them probably did like it before funding cuts.
Your insistence on looking down your nose at menial work is a pretty unpleasant character trait. Binmen are certainly a lot more useful to us than firework sellers, perhaps you should show a little bit of humility.
And it is highly physical work, too. Not every ‘ambulant’ person can do the job. A man of your age and physical fitness might struggle.
Not having this. If you do a basic job, expect to get basic pay. It’s not looking down my nose. it’s pointing out one of the simplest points of life, pay tends to be associated with skills and knowledge. If you have neither and work on the bins then don’t strike for 3 months for better pay, get a better job. It’s really simple and utterly at odds with the general consensus on here.
Seen this behaviour plenty recently in the UK - label others as snowflakes, moan about the woke agenda, disrespect other people’s cultures, jobs, beliefs etc.
I genuinely think the post I replied to is arrogant, unpleasant and, well…cuntish.
I think every worker is entitled to fair pay, fair play and respect. Irrespective of whether they are a surgeon or a street sweeper. The whole idea of get a better job is rooted in ignorance and lack of knowledge or reality.
