At least in the USSR everybody worked. Even if it was watching an escalator. I went to a huge store there in 87 and there was no food. The meager daily quantity had been taken by the people that stood in line at 4:00AM. BUUUUUUUT the clerks and other workers were still there cleaning or some other make work. Those old sovs put there mandated time in. Here in USSA no need of work. This like winding a clock up until the spring breaks. Have food and ammo for weeks, months and do not live in a city.
