I don't know what their benefit package is nowadays, but even a part-time bagger had full medical and dental, plus TDI. 3 weeks vacation for full-timers. Plus, you had a raise schedule in your CBA, and with a shift premium if you worked an overnight, you could take home 300 clams a week. That wasn't bad for a 24 year old kid in the late 70s..

Cashiers start around $9 or $10 an hour now. It's a great job for a high school or college age kid.

Me.......around 75 to 76 in a meat cutting facility in Marlborough
