Or maybe he's enough at peace with himself that he doesn't mind being a grocery store bagger.
It's kind of telling that we look at jobs that are basically fundamental to the smooth operation of society (maybe not baggers specifically, but certainly clerks and stockers in the same store) and assume that the people doing them must be miserable and pitiable. What does that say about us, that we see the foundation-stones of our system as pathetic losers?
