I can't even remember what jobs teenagers were supposed to have. Newspaper delivery? Ice cream bike guy? That's all I got.

Bagging groceries. That job doesn't even exist anymore

Work that grocers have passed onto their customers that they used to do themselves:
- Gathering the groceries from the shelves.
- Bagging the groceries.
- Checking out the groceries.

Good ol shadow work.
Ikea is the greatest.
- You look up the items in inventory and find their warehouse locations
- You traverse the warehouse, locate the items, and load them on your dolly
- You take them to the front and self checkout
- You load them in your delivery vehicle and complete last mile delivery
- You unbox and assemble the item with minimal instruction and provide your own tools
All of those used to be paid work, some even being part of the "white glove" service. Instead, we pay with our time, a finite resource.

When is comes to Ikea, what you pay in time is taken off the price, according to my experience

In theory, yes, I agree. But make sure you properly value yourself! You only have so much time to give.
Though, that was also said about digital games instead of physical ones, that the savings get passed onto the consumer. Not a 1:1 but that one is going swimmingly right now 😅

My dude, if you can't assemble the shelf just go pay more for one that is built. No one needs to run around computing their implicit value for such a simple task.

Something that seems immediately apparent to me is that these folks are not fresh high school students. Adults used to work these jobs.
