$132k is great pay. You get to retire at 56 with a nice federal retirement package, plus an extra supplement to top things up until you are eligible for social security (which you're not initially, since you get to retire so damn early). Is it a hard job? Certainly. But I'm sure a significant number of retail jobs are nearly as stressful. And the union has your back, making sure you get a decent number of decently-sized breaks, overtime pay for overtime work, etc.

- kredd 3y agoFor the responsibility they’re undertaking, I would be happy for them to get paid even more and retire at 45.
- vlovich123 3y ago> a significant number of retail jobs are nearly as stressful A significant number of retail jobs involve the risk of a mass casualty event if you make a mistake and the opportunity for such mistakes happens many times through a day, each day for years on end?
- lotsofpulp 3y agoYou neglected to respond to the important question: > In any case, the proof is in the pudding. If people thought the pay was generous and worth it, would there be a shortage? The rest of your comment is irrelevant. The “great”-ness of a price is evident by the number of sellers willing to accept it.
