Our son was a ****** and carter at a higher-end grocery store in MI in high school--D&W. It made for a nice after-school job for him.
Why did this word get eliminated? He was a person who put groceries in bags and carried them out to customers' cars. For Pete's sake!

And that should be perq up there, not perk, I believe--short for perquisite. My bad.
