I was a cashier at Meijer back in 1986-87...when the store was only open 7-11 and we had to wear ties, and jeans were not acceptable. Baggers had to work at least two lanes, and sometimes three, and cashiers were required to scan a certain number of items per minute. That's back when Meijer hired employees with more than just a heartbeat (that's certainly no reference to you, trainjunkie! ). Oh, how times have changed.trainjunkie47 wrote:I work at the Meijer in Royal Oak as a head cashier and customer service rep. I've been with Miejer since October, 2001. I started out looking to advance into management, but now want no part of it. I have an associates from Oakland CC and a bachelors from Walsh.

I work for TLC in Holland as an End User Support Specialist (company help desk for internal employees and some outside customers.) I work on things like: installing new networking lines, replacing old PCs and laptops, repairing computer, printer fixes, and most of the day is troubleshooting software issues.
TLC is a logistic company, primarily dealing with transporting foods from warehouse to warehouse, mostly trucking with some rail transport and intermodal.
I also "work" at running this website

Not to feel left out I worked grocery at Kroger for two years during high school. Bagged, got the carts and worked the bottle return. Nothing like getting all sticky and stinky cleaning on 90 degree days when everyone brings in bottles full of cigarette butts.
After that I went onto CMU and graduated from there recently with a broadcasting degree and im currently looking for jobs in TV news.

Retired from Consumers Energy, better known as Consumers Power in most of my 32 years there. Worked new construction/maintainance, installing new gas lines and repairing leaks and damaged services & mains. Never a dull moment, doing something different every day and enjoyed my years as equipment operator, and crew leader.

Re: Where do you work and what do you do?
I think this thread needs to be revived. Could be neat to hear what everyone does.
So here is my Resume:
Southwest Airlines, First Officer (co-pilot) Boeing 737. We fly the NG models -700 (143seats), -800 and -MAX8 (175 seats).
Before that I was a Union Boss at ExpressJet airlines. ExpressJet flew as a United Express Carrier; and before they were known as ExpressJet, we were wholly owned by the former Continental airlines and called Continental Express. I flew the EMB-120 Brasilia (30 seats), ATR-42(46 seats), and Embraer 145 Jungle Jet (50 seats). Most of my time was as a Captain on the Embraer-145. I was also a flight instructor/ check airmen for 12 of my years there before I got into the union work. It was a great company to work for and I felt I had a great job. They ceased operations last fall.
Before that I was a flight instructor at Western Michigan University. I taught mostly in the Cessna-172 but also used the Mooney M20r Ovation, and the Piper PA34 Seneca while I worked there.
My family also has a large farming operation near Lake Odessa. I grew up doing farm work and equipment maintenance and driving semi trucks. The family also operates a few grain elevators so I've spent plenty of time working at elevators (dirty job). I still help out as needed especially during the fall and spring busy seasons but it really isn't my thing anymore.
I was a cashier/stocker at the Shell gas station in Lake-O during the slow times at the farm when I was in high school and college (Winter & Mid Summer).
