Now almost all of them look to be into their 20's. I hardly see anyone working there now that is younger. I think when the recession hit eventually the younger people moved on to other jobs and older people who lost their jobs went to work at this store and are still there.
I don't know how it is everywhere, but being from Vancouver, all the grocery stores are union and pay very well. That's considered a great job to land for unskilled people.
