When my son was with Public Works in his small AK town, a guy got hurt (fell off the truck), so the rest of the department had to take turns riding the back and grabbing the cans for a year or so while he healed.
His son (then 3-4 years old) thought it as the coolest thing in the world that Daddy got to work on the garbage truck!
The dignity of labor is an old myth traced back to the concept that the leaders are God’s voice on Earth and we peasants should be grateful for their wisdom and guidance. To serve, no matter how humbly, is to honor God’s plan. And nothing should keep those leaders from doing as they please because that is their sacred duty.

While “Mr. Trash” Opus preens for the cameras filming his little PSA, reality sneaks up from behind, and it stinks!
