It was time to get out and buy a few groceries and it was a busy friday afternoon heading into the weekend. The unusual thing I noticed is that of the 8 cashiers, 6 were young males of high school age. This was something new. Could it be that the older, previous cashiers were laid off temporarily and the younger males hired to replace them.
That seems a win win for everyone but the Canadian tax payer. The older workers can collect the $2,000 CERB, the younger workers get a summer job, and the grocery store gets to save on salaries. Could it be? I guess I won't be sure until the CERB disappears and the older, previous workers show up again.
It appears that Trudope has figured out the CERB is a problem and is trying to extracate himself from and claw back the money that was fraudently claimed by some Canadians. However, the grocery cashier scheme would pass muster and would be hard to go after.
There are signs all over the place advertising jobs that need filling. The CERB is free money for sitting at home and doing nothing. A good gig if you can get away with it.
Not much else going on and I believe it is time to get back to business, albeit with proper social distancing and face masks. I finally get a tooth looked after with a dentist appointment at the end of the month.
