Plus,

Down Route delivery agent.
Service Runner.

Whoever takes that job will sacrifice their body for less than the 9 bucks and will have no health benefits to make themselves healthy when things go wrong and they will believe me.

Hmm,
it looks more like a comment, I heard some 20+ years ago, that has stuck with me, is coming to fruition. When a company wants, or needs, to raise the bottom line, you do it by cutting employees. You cut, cut, cut. Then when the company bleeds, you add a little back.
16 hours a week at $9 an hour, covering a multitude of departments….Pathetic!!!
Have at it. You get what you pay for.
