Several. I edited my original comment to reflect this.

Not imagine it being hotter, louder higher humidity, and having to bend over slightly to reach things all the time. Welcome to a dishroom.
Just to be clear though
1. I said I got back pain just standing on concrete, without actually lifting anything
2. People are super bad at lifting things properly, so I’m sure a reasonable number of injuries are “avoidable”
3. I’m not saying that everything in this was realistic (there are some questionable options), just that this particular case is super plausible. After all the equivalent in tech is RSI/OOS (whatever it’s called now), and that’s super common even though avoiding it is way easier than avoiding back problems when your job is picking things up.
There’s a difference between lifting/carrying the occasional 20lb weight, and doing that continuously for 8 hours.

Low end housing does do credit checks, and does increase your “deposit”.
