What's your point? That people should be indentured in low paying jobs to be old people's friends?
The problem is that they don’t make a living. People who work in grocery stores aren’t working there because they want to, but usually just because it’s their only option. If they quit their jobs they would be homeless by the end of the month. Do you understand what their living conditions are like? It’s really sad and it makes me uncomfortable to talk to them. Minimum wage workers in high cost of living cities are just slavery as a service.
It's also nice, to talk to people, instead of talking down to them.
It seems like every year we are loosing more union jobs than ever.
Safeway has always been a hated place to work, but it used to pay their employees a decent salary with benefits.
Now—they have a weird semi union status. They load up the stores with desperate people, and still manage to make them maybe the most angry workers I have seen. I overheard one manager tell an employee yesterday to drive to a store two hours away, and be there by 7:00 am! The employee just looked crushed. That kind of crap didn’t happen in union shops.
I guess the future will be self checkouts, security cams everywhere, and facial recognition to track.
Seems hard to believe.
