  • I don't see how me pissing you off is relevant to the discussion . . . I Kind of feel like taking a bow.

    Anyway, the job description did not include: tolerating condescending customers, constantly being blamed for things that aren't your fault, being berated by horrible customer for doing your job properly, helping capable but lazy customers who only ask for help because they know it bothers you, acknowledging that all your werk is exists because people are lazy, attaining an overall, lingering dissatisfaction with the status quo of human interpersonal communication. Is that worth $6 (net) an hour? I think not.

    Six dollars an hour at 30 hours a week gets you $180. That's $720 in four weeks. A typical studio apartment here in Los Angeles is about $550 a month. A single is about $800. My two bed room is $1200 but I only pay half. I only have about $20 a week of disposable income. I'm sorry but dealing with all the shit noted above is not worth having $20 more than mere survival.

    • What, you've never, ever been in a retail establishment before? You've never in your life seen how people treat the employees? Nope, I don't buy it; you are just making up bullshit lies now. If you didn't have the intelligence to make sure you understood exactly what you would have to do and put up with when you took the job, then that is YOUR error and no one elses.
      If you couldn't live on the wages, well, whose fault is that? Perhaps you should have found a cheaper place to live or more roommates.
      But, you know what? "Is that worth $6 (net) an hour? I think not." THEN FUCKING QUIT and go find another job. Just stop bitching and moaning like a child!

      • Old man is a tad bit jealous of your youth, Armus. He's crabbity. I hope your ignoring his idiocy.

        Hey, work ethic is great. But, Gypsy, you're off the deep end. You haven't brought forth any quality evidence for anything you said.

        Armor just delivered you some numbers. You want Armus to quit? Genius, I think you've not been in the formal economy for some time, I take it. If Armus quits, he's technically unemployed, that would not be in his favor in this economic climate. Quitting would create a gap in employment which is a red flag you don't want on the resume. One must have a job these days to get one. That's how human resources works with the applications process unless Armus bypasses all of this. Lots of people don't know how to do that. They just need money to pay for life expenses which is understandable.

        Your advice is not helping Armus at all. More roommates? Cheaper place? What next? Walk 100 miles in the desert like you did?

        • Rather than quit the little crybaby can just stop bitching and moaning and do the job he was hired to do, right? Solves all the problems.

          • Gypsy, would you prefer duct tape, like they did in the good old days?

            • I've hired and fired so many like you over the years. Wanted the job, begged for the job, and then they bitched and moaned because it actually WAS a job, even if it was on some fancy yacht. How boring.

              • You hired people identical to me? People like me want and beg for a job from you? Interesting projection there, lol. Now, I know you're just blindly trapped in your own little cave, in the dark, with blinders on. Be specific. Who were these bitching moaners? Apparently, your hiring skills needed some help. Or, you're paying people pathetic wages, hence you can't attract the better guys that have more lucrative options to take.

                Gypsy, I like your posts. Still, you are one crabby feller there.

              • Ok. Next time you moan about something, take your own advice.

                Or is it only others that applies to?

                I think he makes a valid complaint. The minimum wage in America is disgustingly low.

                And since when is expecting customers to behave in a courteous, civilised manner towards another human unreasonable?

                You think he should just quit, then? Becone reliant on welfare? Can't have it both ways.

                You really do live in a fantasy world, huh?
