To be fair aren't most dog walkers paid extremely little?
(Below minimum wage even)
Many of these services like uber are effective means to underpay people. It has upsides too, such as people having a job (beats having no job).
But I'm not surprised the walker didn't want to confront the client. Clients are very unlikely to be calm reasonable people in this situation.
- computerex 8y agoWhat's your point? You seem to be defending the walker when all we know is that a dog was killed under the watch of this walker. How is the walker's low wage relevant to this discussion? Just because they get a low wage doesn't give them a right to kill dogs?
- jopsen 8y agoI think I'm trying to suggest that people who walk dogs for a living might have a hard time -- and, thus, we should show them compassion. We could also pay people a living wage -- but showing compassion and understanding is cheaper. (hints of sarcasm may occur)
- horatiocain 8y ago> To be fair aren't most dog walkers paid extremely little? (Below minimum wage even) IDK what your source is on this one but the last time I got one it cost like $40 for a person to walk my dog and leave a little paper note that they pooped.
