.....and probably grossly overpaid at that!

Well..in 1965 depending if it was the spring or fall I was in either
grade 10 or 11 in high school.
I did work Thursday and Friday evenings plus all day Saturday stocking
shelves at a local supermarket earning somewhere between $1 and $1.50 per
hour. So, at 16 hours a week x 4 weeks x hourly rate, I probably earned
as much as y'all and worth every penny.
Good for you.
