> minimum wage Seems unnecessary.

  I think it’s relevant and it’s not a smear against the worker, but the job. If you’re making minimum wage, how much do you really care about your job in general? You’re probably regarded as disposable.

    I understand that interpretation and I think it's valid. I also think that particular string "some minimum wage worker" has a long nose to look down and you shouldn't condescend or distrust lower compensated employees.

      I always interpretted "minimium wage" as "cheap to bribe and often effectively anonymous" in the objection in security contexts as that tends to matter more than lack of attention or aptitude. More of an argument to the opposite that the company should be either treating the access to the secure data/job better or promoting more loyalty. Plus any form of validation/licensing/training (say like bonded couriers for example) essentially requires both being paid for and the marginal cost encourages raising the rate so they don't change jobs as readily means it is no longer minimum wage even if it is still low on the worker totem pole.

        I 100% agree. I also trust fast food employees to effectively sanitize, even if their position does not command a wage increase. I stand by my initial argument with the wording and I'd rather not tangent down ethics, policy, hypotheticals. I am just expressing a bad taste, that is all.
