[QUOTE="meritocracy, post: 4879543, member: 89775"] 1. composite or steel toe that is comfortable 2. yes -- buy a ton of those latex dipped knit gloves at home depot or online because you'll go through a pair a week 3. Break is when they decide it is but you'll get one about half way through your shift. Go use the bathroom when you want to and notify your supervisor before you go. Use your break to rest. 4. Fill out a union membership form and figure out who your stewards are ASAP. Do your best to show up on time and show up every day during your probationary period. Focus on working according to the methods they teach you (lifting with your legs, locking in walls, etc.) and don't focus on speed. As long as you're not going extremely slow they're going to keep you, and if you go too fast it's going to hurt you later on. Either physically or in terms of the standard you're held to. Also, try to remember that this isn't just a crappy part-time job. It's something you're doing until you can get a much better full-time job at UPS (inside FT, package car driver, feeder driver, etc.) that will pay well enough and have good enough benefits for you to have a great standard of living for the rest of your life.
