FILE - In this Dec. 7, 2016, file photo, Charlie Gallant, right, empties garbage containers with Brian Felipe, left, for Pacific Waste on South Franklin Street in Juneau, Alaska. Gallant said, "Last week I saw a man walking with a coat and tie talking on his phone and I told by buddy I wish I had a job where I could wear a coat and tie. So why not! I decided I would wear a coat and tie all week. When I look good I feel good." Three years ago, Empire staff photographer Michael Penn took a photograph of a garbage collector emptying a trash can for the city of Juneau in a suit and tie. Gallant started a new job as a car salesperson in Anchorage last week. (Michael Penn/The Juneau Empire via AP, File)
