TranscriptA tweet saying "100k a year to take someone's order at Taco Bell . Totally makes sense.". It has a reply saying "Where the hell did you get that number? If someone's working enough hours to make that on $15 an hour, they deserve it. $15 an hour, a person working 40 a week makes $31,200 a year." the reply has 2 likes.

I was briefly a minimum wage worker at a grocery store and that was my experience. I was a college student just making extra spending money and trying to be responsible. I didn't need the job at all. I put in time off for my vacation and my manager was weird saying I couldn't do that. And I didn't really say it directly but it's like, the vacation is already planned. I'm going. The system approved it, too. You can't make me not go. If you're going to reprimand me, you can. If you're going to fire me, you can, but I'm going.

I can't imagine how fucking awful that environment would be like if that's your primary method of supporting your family.

Yep.

Basically all min wage job managers are petty tyrants, little baby fascists.

As Jello Biafra put it: Take this job and shove it.
