I have asked, everyone on my belt does security or stay home dad. At my hub, people just don't talk to people from other belts
I'm just looking for more options other than security
Preloaders/unloaders/PT drivers, are/did you work another part time?

This was back in 1989 and the store (Grand Union) is no longer in existence.

Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
What you do is put applications in at places and in the interview or if their going to hire you explain the situation to them. Most places will attempted to work with you if you have good qualifications. I worked at speedway for while has a part time job.

Grow a set of balls and go talk to someone not that big of a deal.

I wouldn't doubt he is far off. I know our preload is like a cone of silence. Nobody talks to each other. The other day I had a preloader ask me what another guy's name was. They'd worked together for almost 6 months. It's one thing in a hub. It's another when there are less than 20 people on the belt.People just don't talk to people from other belts.

You're correct. But I think a bit of awkwardness builds up after a time where you can't really go up and be like "Hey guy I work with everyday but never acknowledged. What's up?"

And this is what you get with a generation that only knows how to communicate through a screen.

Seriously, in a HUB like ours people are in cliques. It's like being in high school. Even our two centers are 40 yards apart and drivers from each center barely talk to each other. Even when I switched centers I would go back over and try to talk to drivers there and they would say, "go back to your center, traitor." Kind of ridiculous if you ask me.
More sad than ridiculous.
When we move to our new building, we were split into two centers. Everybody still talked to everybody. After the strike, they closed a satellite center and moved them into or building. Even though some people lost some seniority, we all still got along.

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.
Billing, warehouse work, lawn work, whatever to keep my family fed. Sometimes you just have to be a man and do things you don't want to do.
