    Give that job to some lazy, uneducated, bitter white dude who will just cry about the hourly wage while he ham-handedly turns those avocados into floor guacamole.

    It's more true than you know. In the early 1700s, they switched from mules to humans for turning cranks. There were actually "hamster wheels" powered by humans. Why? You can tell humans when to slow down and speed up, but couldn't reliably do it with "beasts". This was the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

    When they talk about humans having more than five senses, this is a great example. Their brain knows where their other hand is to such a degree that it doesn’t miss.

    For all: Try closing your eyes and pinching the tip of your nose. How close did you get?

    The industry labels these people as unskilled??!! This is an amazing skill and I’m betting not many can learn it with this efficiency.

    “Unskilled” means you dont need prior education or training to learn the job. Which in this case would be true.

    It doesn’t mean that the work doesn’t require skill. All jobs require skill at something.

    It’s simply a technical term.

    It’s funny, I work the other end, putting that stuff out on shelves from those boxes and for some reason that’s exactly how I would do it. From my box to my hand and set it. It just was fun and it would blow my coworkers minds.

    In my area Avocados like that are usually about $1.80 to $2.25 each. So wholesale I think that box has got to be at least $60. Not too sure how much they are further North but I’m guessing they get expensive.

    Not sure how much this person makes an hour - but may be someone who comes here to work from another company that is employed by a company that hires undocumented workers or this person is authorized to work and a US citizen. From what I understand is the jobs like this don’t pay enough for US workers and if the hourly wages attracted US workers it would bankrupt the farming or agriculture industry. If this work paid a living wage I don’t believe it’s sustainable. Our economy is broken.

    So I used to do this type of thing all the time with my tools or whatever (toss between hands without looking single items) but due to a rare degenerative nerve disease I now don't have proprioception ( perception or awareness of the position and movement of the body.)

    So now when I go to do it, I end up missing the catch all the time. It's both frustrating and humorous, I need to laugh at this disease, or I'd cry, lol.
