I grew up in an economically depressed area. I worked at a grocery store when not in school (summers, vacations, weekends) from 17-22. First of the month was absolutely brutal. The worst was July 1st - 4th of July holiday and welfare time? Dear sweet baby Jesus I worked monster hours those days.
You could look at the sale ad and know what part of the month it was. First of the month? Spam/potted meat, ramen noodles, generic cola, and Little Debbie cakes were always on sale. Same with macaroni & cheese and the cheap store white bread. And Kool Aid.
The local coal miners got paid every two weeks. Some of those cats made serious jack for the area ($1,000/week take home) but they lived like they did growing up - rough. On pay day, I couldn't count the number of cases of Black Label and Schaefer's beer I carried out to their trucks. We weren't supposed to take tips, but a couple of these guys wouldn't hear of letting one of us kids carry out their groceries without a $5 tip (hell, I only made $4.25 an hour!) Loved those guys!
