Yuppie Running vs. Blue Collar Running

I don't like the "blue collar" runner misnomer. Usually it's used to refer to a yuppie or anyone with a fulltime job. A yuppie or a blue collar worker could have a more challenging time training depending on their job.

If a blue collar worker is required to spend a lot of time on their feet while working, then they might have the bigger challenge, otherwise they don't.

Where I work, the blue collar workers clock out the moment time runs out no matter what. They work 40 hours a week, not a minute more. They'll leave work unfinished and equipment running and leave the building. The yuppies spend a lot more time working and make sure that we stay in business and stay profitable.

Someone has never worked blue collar before.

Who?

Night shift in a warehouse walking miles every night for me. It did suck. The blue collar worker I know now are lazy, irresponsible, and dumb. Luckily there are yuppies there to keep the place running.

Yeah, well Southie is one of the most yuppified neighborhoods in Boston these days. Its all new gentrification-chic "multi-use" apartments directed at local college grads. For the community you're looking for, try going to Braintree or Somerville.

Guinness is the world's most overrated beer.

No, that would be Heineken.
