My job is pushing people in wheelchairs at the airport. Your move Zoom.

Thank you. As a child I always thought this was such an important job. It’s a shame the highest paid humans are useless.

It IS an important job! Without us, the disabled, the elderly, and the lazy enough to become 600lbs couldn’t traverse large airports, and fly to various cities. We do a lot of hard backbreaking work for often very little money.

So the next time you fly with grandma, slip your wheelchair assistant a $20 bill tip. Unless they were spectacularly awful at their jobs, and tossed your grandma down a flight of stairs…

That would be awful!!! Still though…maybe like $5?

Are you trying to promote the tipping culture in that job as well or something?

Easy; just shove a massive LiDAR scanner underneath, a few rechargeable 12 volt batteries, an acceptably advanced image processing system- it’s basically a self driving golf cart that would probably cost more then your yearly salary and not work as well but common sense doesn’t really mean anything to management so it’ll happen either way!

…stop being right. I know you don’t know the layout of the airport I work at, but theres a part where I’m SURE that thing would run over people.
