Street/Parking Lot Cleaners.

Every night, I clean up:

  • Styrofoam cups/cans/plastic cups & bottles
  • tossed out left over fast food
  • dirty diapers that someone couldn't walk 7 feet through the Walmart parking lot to throw in an actual trash can
  • empty boxes for: flat-screen TVs, Car seats, memory foam mattresses, or Amazon purchases
  • disposable vapes
  • trash bags that someone decided needed to be left in a parking lot instead of in a dumpster
  • So. Many. Plastic. Hangers.
  • receipts
  • grocery bags
  • candy wrappers
  • Edit shattered glass, but it makes that gravel in a vacuum sound when the truck sucks it up, so that's nice.

And the only time I get thanked is when my employer asks me to do extra work because there was a storm, another driver was out sick, another driver needed help on a site, or there was a big event that needed to be cleaned for/after.

I've learned shoppers in your country are messy pigs.
