I was in a teacher conference and some parents were flipping out that she wasn't providing after school support to their dipshit child. She pointed out she makes 41k.

That's $20.50 an hour. She could work at Costco for $30 an hour.

I wish! It's really hard to get into Costco because people like working there so much they don't leave! Lol I tried and they generally only take a few people in from their seasonal hires, working in the bakery I guess I was too "hidden" and didn't get chosen to stay lol
