Co-op

[logisticslad]

Tonight I finished this year's work allotment for my food co-op. Weaver's Way asks us to put in 6 hours per year, which is very doable. I like to work the clean up shift after closing, because it makes me feel productive and it counts for time and a half (so I only need to do 4 hours for the year). It's time and a half because it truly is work. I spent the first hour vacuuming under every shelf. This involved getting down on the floor and manipulating the vacuum underneath as well as moving stuff around to get at it. We don't normally do this for clean up, but the store has been having some problems with mice, so we figured that the less crap lying around in hard to get places, the better. After that, I cleaned the glass doors of all of the display cases and wiped out the door tracks. I got to use a super cleaner called Citri-Solve, which took the old labeling tape right off the glass in a snap! After my shift, I went and signed up at the gym so that it will count for a work out. Given how tired I am now, I feel completely justified :-)

Where is Weaver's Way?
I've never heard of it.

BTW.. great "screen name" Sounds like a member of the Legion of Super Heroes.

Weaver's Way is located in Mt Airy at the corner of Greene St and Carpenter Lane. It's been around for over 25 years (I've been a member for 11 years). Their website is <http://weaversway.coop> I highly recommend them.

You've got it! Logisticslad is indeed my LSH name (I've been reading LSH since the Mike Grell era of the early 70's). One of my superpowers is to organize travel and event logistics for my friends.

CitraSolv is the best! And it smells good, too.

I volunteer at my coop on friday mornings, stocking shelves. They don't ask all members to volunteer, but you get a discount if you do: 8 hrs/month = 10%; 12 hrs/month = 15%.

I'm now a believer in CitraSolv!

We really do have it good at Weavers with our very small work commitment compared to other co-ops. It works because we have almost 3000 member families. On the other hand, they do drop people who don't do the work hours within the proscribed timeframe and one cannot shop there without being a member.
