*Internal Screaming*

Me listening to a customer complaint

some of you have never had a customer service job and it shows

Black polo and black yoga pants (technically the yoga pants are out of dress code but I want to be comfortable). Black slip on shoes from Shoes for Crews.

Full time work should entitle someone to enough pay for rent, food, bills, and leisure activities. Full time work for a full life wage. You put in your 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? You should be able to afford the basic shit you need in life, no matter where you work.

pisses me off that this is considered a radical statement.

I do agree with this but from economic standpoint if you are working at a job like McDonalds as someone flipping burgers and making fries you are getting paid for the amount of skill needed for the job. But if its any other job that requires you to have an actual skill that you can make a career out of then yeah you should be getting paid enough to live a standard life.

People like this are why we can’t move on to issues like reducing how many hours is full time, or working out UBI. We’re going to need to do that. Most people just don’t know what’s coming down the pipeline, without a major change to the structure of the economy, we’re looking at large scale permanent unemployment, even in the “skilled” labor force.

“There’s no such thing as an unskilled job. There are only undervalued skills.”

going from “today is a good day” to “i hate my life” takes me approximately 2.6 seconds

It sucks knowing that many of my regulars have more money on their Starbucks gold cards than I do in my bank account

Why do you need $500 on your gold card?! WHY?!
