2 weeks paid vacation is a luxury reserved for those who have made it into an upper middle class office job- most blue collar jobs like restocking shelves offer no paid vacation at all, and many offer no maternity leave or health care either. You can always tell a working class person by their teeth, which by their late 30’s will have started falling out.

"You can always tell a working class person by their teeth, which by their late 30’s will have started falling out." that seems to me a tragedy especially in such a rich country as USA. wonder if its lack of dental cover, or soft drinks , or bit of both? I remember as a kid at school when someone's baby tooth falls out and they bring it in, leave it in a glass of coke, and in frighteningly short time the whole thing is dissolved.

You get 1/2 weeks paid at chic fila as a cashier. Grocery stores ie stocking shelves full time is also the same at nearly every chain. Tradesman have it better.
