Can’t you get it to clean itself?
It’s a job in Lower Decks which I think makes it canon.
That being said, it would be hilarious if holodecks can be self-cleaning but they still make ensigns do it anyway to “build character”
Maybe it’s the worst job because it’s really boring. You just go “Computer, run holodeck cleaning” and wait for it to finish?
Scraping carbon off of slightly harder carbon using phasers. Apparently it's a manual job.
Yeah Star Trek is so silly about manual tasks. You’d think they’d have Phaser Roombas (Phoombas). Like it’s either get a crew member to do it or you end up with an evil AI and barely any in between.
Time would go so much slower without something to do
Slower? Sure, I'll grant you that.
However, there are some things in life I'd rather not do, even if it resulted in being bored out of my mind.
And I hate, hate, being bored.
Sometimes it's both.
Lol agreed!
It’s a matter assembler disassembler. Should be perfect for it.
On the other hand people wear costumes to the holodeck so I’m not sure.
I think that's more so they can be prepared to get into character before they go into the simulation. Less to do with the need for the costume.
Broccoli is in uniform during his holodeck fantasies because he doesn't make time to change
It's holograms and force fields, that's why if you take anything out of the holodeck it disappears.
Unless it's snow obviously. I suppose that might have been actually replicated.
