I am a retired Marine and I recommend that anyone looking for help with their cart or stand consider former or retired military folks. If you can find younger guys right out of the service who are going to school, etc., they are usually looking for work that is flexible schedule wise that allows them to attend classes. On the other hand, if you find some older retired military guys, they often are looking for something that puts some money in their pocket in addition to their pension.

While the military, like all organizations, has its 10% of misfits, in general, when hiring former military guys you will get folks who show up on time, take direction well, understand how to solve problems while you are away and they will work hard for fair wages.

Any military base has an office that specializes in helping guys find jobs as they leave the service. If your town has a reserve center you can stop in there and let folks know you need some help.

Just thought I’d chime in with this, as there is no doubt that finding reliable staff is one of the critical ingredients of expanding a business or running one when the owner is absent.
