Good. I'm sick of this shit. The person in the article makes $15.30 for dragging a loaf of bread across a scanner that does 90% of the work for her.

She wants to know why the company founder/president makes $21M and she makes $31K? Because he founded the fucking company, runs the fucking company, deals with every single aspect of his company on a daily basis, makes sure his company stays running every single day, and has to deal with shitheads like her every fucking day.

She drags bread across a scanner.

Hazzard pay for a grocery store checker. I thought I heard it all.

Honestly I get where you're coming from, the 15 min is a inflation nightmare waiting to happen, but don't take it out or demean the people who are still doing the job you're looking down on. Some jobs you could consider "easy" or "non important" can still be putting food on the table or keeping some kid's student loans at bay.

I'm not saying you're wrong but your rhetoric and your lack of respect for the starting worker, or at least people in low level positions doesn't make you any more right, it makes you look like a pompous elitist. And if you're on this site I'd like to imagine you're a hard worker like the rest of us, and not one the spoiled rich assholes that have pushed our country to its breaking point.

Take a step back, start an actual conversation, and realize that the world isn't us vs them, and that the people "scanning your bread" might have very little options in the working world, and the only job that a crumbling LA job market available really could be just "scanning bread" Californians may be damned fools but they're still human, still have kids, and still gotta eat. If you're really working class like the rest of us? Don't look down on the working class for decisions made by elitists that are trying to kill the working class.

You're just part of the problem at that point.
