I wouldn’t call it meaningless. I don’t have to get out of my car into nasty weather. Disabled people get helped without having to make a big fuss about it. And some people actually do like the job, as strange as that might sound.

Back in the day they’d wash your windows, check your tire pressure, and maybe ask you how your day was going too. Nothing wrong with service.

What pisses me off is all these jobs gone, and yet the gas didn’t get any cheaper. Seems like self-checkout; the companies convincing people that doing their jobs for them for no pay so they can pocket all the profit is great actually.
