I'm always torn between my disdain for swinging down at the working class and my experience from the time I was 14 until I was 26, My politics have always aligned with something far more left wing than the Democrats. Pro-private unions, pro m4a, pro welfare assistance, higher minimum wages, I wish people had guaranteed sick and vacation time, better work safety protections, better paternity/maternity leave. And a culture that saw jobs that didn't take a degree as something that could still be worked with a since of dignity. But in my actual experience working... I worked just about anything you can think of.. Starbucks, Applebee's, TGIFridays,a BBQ restaurant, Sallie Beauty Supply, CVS, Rite-Aid, CompUSA, video rentals, grocery stores, I worked construction, painted, did lots of odd jobs. And the types of people I met along the way.... The adults in restaurants, pharmacies and retail stores.. who eclipsed me in years anyways, to be frank, were losers. Lazy, shiftless people who had to be told, constantly, to do the basics even when you had entire days when there was little customizer traffic or stock to take care of People who would openly lie about "oh my back" and sit on a stool not doing shit all day, then go off to party at night. People who wouldn't see a customer for hours and couldn't be fucked to "front and face" or do some basic cleaning of the store without being told to.. At 40, 50, 55 years old. I can't tell you how many people at various jobs who got arrested bc they were jacking shit from the store and selling hit items. I worked a toy store in a mall during the Xmas season once and the manager was cleaning the inventory out by 30% and flipping it every week. These were always people with kids before they were 18, or had multiple kids from multiple partners, drug use was way more open and regular than anything you see in the office. You go to McDonald's and you see more tattoos and "grills" than you see any sense. Do you think they give af about an ice cream machine? But the bigger question, is why in 2022 is anyone still buying toxic crap from fast food restaurants? Buy a bag of beans, live a couple years longer.
