I knew a tipping point had occurred in January when a friend of mine in Santa Maria applied for a part time job as a cashier at a Trader Joe’s in Santa Maria ($8/hour), and 1000 people showed up.
[/quote]I’m not saying things are good, but you do realize this was a brand new store? At a well known company that probably advertised the jobs. It’s not like 1000 people were there for one cashier’s job.
In 1979 I went to apply at a new Big Bear in El Cajon and there were hundreds of people waiting in line. A poor economy like now, but not the end of the world.
[/quote]
Actually, many more showed up for the 3 or so other positions available, including manager.But it is a fact: there were roughly 1000 applicants for one (1) cashier job, according to the assistant manager who spoke with my friend.
[/quote]So this brand new store only needed 4-5 people?
Doesn’t pass the smell test.

LOL! Some probably already knew that from prior threads. For the rest, partypup’s 3rd post on this thread ended with “I’m so very frightened…”. Zero macho quotient. That gave the game away for the rest of us, apart from a stray reader who doesn’t pick up on social cues. Oh, in the movie, what was Borat’s defining quality? (No offense to our own resident Borat, just enjoying the humor here…)
