Good for Lynn!  A first job like that would not only give her incentive
to obtain qualifications for more intellectual and pleasurable
employment, but would also give her an understanding of "the workers'"
lives and problems.

I would suggest, though, that instead of wearing out her hiking boots,
she should get a pair of steel-toed work shoes.  In that sort of job
bins and hard objects can easily fall onto feet.  Modern work shoes can
be quite smart looking.  I have a pair which looks like ordinary
sneakers that I wear when working in workshops and similar.  (They
drive metal detectors in airports crazy, though!)
