Once upon a time, I was a net head.
NO! seriously I wore it right under my hardhat in 40 degree temperatures.
Kroger deli manufacturing and distribution plant, Greensburg, IN. ( better known as KB Foods ) I was the warehouse supervisor in charge of approx. 10 people when I started; 40 + on three regular shifts and a swing shift when I jumped up on the plant managers desk and told him to take the job and shove it up his a**! That's when I became a car dealer
"No regrets"!
