I worked at the tire center in wal-mart when I was in college. To accomodate my school schedule I started at 2 in the afternoon and worked until the tire center closed. Then I was supposed to work with the people inside doing whatever they did for the last few hours. They never actually told me who to report to or what I was supposed to be doing for the last 3 hours so I would just go sleep in my car then go back in and clock out at the end of my shift. I did this for like 9 months and no one ever questioned me.

Getting paid to be there through the night for the times when a person is actually needed, as well as being on site to keep an eye on things. Sounds like honest work to me
Especially since it's nights - when most people don't want to work, and when it fucks up your health doing it regularly.
Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn't know it's fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone put a thin line over it that barely covers it. I was about to shit a brick.
fuck
The only explanation I’ve heard is that big domains like .world use AI to scan images for filtering. That and reposting content from other website with strict profanity filters.
I doubt it is .world and not every mainstream social media
Those alleged filters are so fucking strict that a four year old who barely recognizes motherfucking letter would read that shit like a spelling bee champion.
Home Depot getting inventive with their recruiting strategies
I work overnight at a home Depot, this has not been my experience.
~~European here (we don't have Home Depot),~~ ~~isn't Home Depot a hardware Store?~~ ~~What is there to do at night for eight Hours?~~
Nevermind the Question was answered one comment below 😂
Home Depot is an hardware shop in the USofA, right?
If so, why is an hardware store open overnight? What DIY emergency can come about that it can't wait for working hours?
These stores are not open at night. They sometimes have overnight staff that process loading bay trucks and/or restock shelves on the retail floor.
Basically every chain grocery store does this at least once a week as well. I remember them trying to get me to do it when I worked for one while in college. Acted like it was such a great opportunity to get an extra buck an hour, which I quickly refused.
I worked retail at a major store ~45k sqft and we had people come in at 2-3am and work until 10-11am “stocking shelves”. Thing is, part of our closing duties when it wasn’t busy was to restock the shelves. So most of the time the people stocking just ducked around for 8 hours. They were always super chill but had terrible weed.

Gotta save the good stuff for after work 😎
Why not cut out the walking around in a store for 8h and still getting paid 17$/h. Universal Basic income now!
I hear what you're saying but the walking was probably the best part of that job. Barring disability, walking is so good for our bodies.
That's how I learned to code. Got a night security job to pay bills and just took my laptop there. In my whole time there I had to get up from my desk maybe 2 times because some drunk dudes would get lost and stumble into the territory lol
It's somewhat the same argument for universal income. Gives people time to learn valuable skill sets without giving all their time and energy to some company.
I agree. I'm lucky I got this opportunity which really made me believe in social safety net as an ideology. So many people are stuck because there just no time to respecialize and re-invest your human resources. Automation, AI, robotics are only a problem because of this. If AI can take taxi driver's job and the taxi driver has the support to re-specialize to something more fulfilling then it's a win-win for everyone.
That's the dream.
Not the American one though sadly.
