The co-op I frequent tried to recruit me just before the end of the world. I've turned down candy store jobs before, but my ears perked at the 10% over cost QBP deal. I wont have the time till my "homeschooling" responsibility's are over. At some level I'm also interested in getting under the "corporate" insurance umbrella and cranking out a volume of work. My previous trade involved a lot of cost benefit decisions. As far as I know, my personal work didn't get any one killed, but my bosses BS sure as hell did.
Typical conversation:
Crew: do you think she'll make it?
Boss: sign right here.
Me: Bring 2 trash pumps.

Its an hour and some by car to the co-op so It will be a big commitment to volunteer there. I've had some nebulous conversations about starting a satellite Co-op, but dont have the time. Slowly creating the infrastructure in the meantime though.

All good 52T
If I recall, my usual visit LBS has their employees for new bike unpacking and build, based per unit, not hourly. The younger fellows told me they prefer it.
Many a times, its not about the pay. Stay busy and every little bit one does for the community is good.
cheers!
