OK...I'm just surprised that you'd want to channel the two worst agitators who used to post here.
Anyway, I did push a broom on occasion during my high school days when I worked part time at a local supermarket. We all had to at 9pm on Friday nights and 6 pm on Saturday nights when the store used to close. We didn't get paid overtime for it so we pretty well ran with the brooms around tardy shoppers.
