> the problem with minimum wage type jobs is that everyone wants more for them, by that i mean, some dipshit working at harbor freight who doesn’t know a fucking thing about tools and shows up drunk or stoned every shift thinks that they should get higher pay because they feel its a hard job, even though the people who work there and have fucktons of knowledge and bust their ass everyday at that job get the same pay even though due to their knowledge and work ethic they really are more valuable. with nobody wanting to put in real effort into their job companies lower their standards for new employees and now virtually all retail jobs are taken by lazy derps, people who would do those jobs very well seek other work because retail jobs have turned into jokes. now that there is no competition for available positions, the company hires whoever they can can pays them minimum wage knowing that 99 out of 100 employees will do little work and bring nothing to the table as far as desireable skills.

WTF are you talking about? That was one of the most asinine things I have read. You double step your points. In actuality retail is very competitive as there really aren’t that many jobs anymore since everything is going the way of online ordering.

Also most people working these jobs are hard workers trying to make end’s meat. The problem is you have companies like Wal-Mart making billions in profit each year and treat their workers like dirt. They don’t pay a livable wage or offer good health benefits. This is causing tax payers to foot the bill for welfare, Medicaid, and food stamps. Why should I have to pay for this? It is the companies responsibility to the workers to offer a livable wage; especially when they have insane profits and CEOs making insane money. I bet the cashier works harder than the CEOs.

Luckily, we have companies like Costco and aldi offering employees better wages and benefits that way the taxpayers aren’t strained to help out the “working poor.”
