We need days off more then most. Can’t tackle all jobs. All day shifts on your feet don’t work. Injuries do occur. Adapt to survive

Agreed--I know of several businesses that have a workforce pool to draw from and a full time position to make the work assignments. It takes a certain level of employment to make this work such as owning several fast food places. Walmart has a reputation for hiring retirfees. I talked to a boat captain at Disney World awhile back. Retiree from Alton NH, once he had been hired and trained (to say "Magical" in every other sentence), he signed up for when he wanted to work, next three weeks or next three months, whatever and they worked him into the schedule. There's probably off the shelf software for this, but hiring is still tough for a small business on a short season.
