I work with four guys and one of them is autistic so the stuff about having someone in the bathroom seeing one of our guys and misunderstanding or taking advantage of things - that's an issue.

the low wage job ($8.50) but sooo hard and important are others

Thank you for caring, cause at 8.50, you sure don't do what you do for the money.
