    I’m not sure why you’re being down voted, you’re right. That’s not how it should be, but technically you’re right. Some of the most stressful and difficult jobs out there get terrible wages.

      Retail in a nutshell. Get treated like shit but if you dare say something that could possibly be considered even mildly offensive, let alone stand up for yourself then you’re the bad guy and get all the blame.

      So glad I got out of that, everyone should have to work retail for at least half a year to develop a bit of empathy. The bullshit you have to put up with on a near daily basis for poverty wages is fucking abysmal.
