My third grade teachers husband was the janitor at my elementary school so we got a completely different take as kids. He and the whole support staff(cafeteria ladies, other janitors, the repair men) were really made out to be human and equally as important and deserving of respect as the teachers. Also the sanitation workers in my city have an almost mythic history behind them because of MLK so I really didn’t get that most people looked down on service workers until I was an adult and it shocked me. Still does tbh. I don’t understand how you can demonize an industry that is vital to your own health.

Nowadays it’s McDonalds and Dunkins instead of being the garbage man.

And trash trucks are basically giant rolling robots now. I’m in.
