one thing you can do is go back

>>17903015
It does actually. Why? Because several people would offer themselves to stock shelves without any education or preparation. Anyone can do it.

>>17903015
Acquire a better, more needed, more valuable skill set and this won't happen next time

>>17903015
I think this is the best time to implement self checkout on mass

>17903015

an Australian supermarket chain received 36000 job applications to fill 5000 position this week. grocery store workers aren’t special.

>>17903015
This is the dumbest logic ever. That person is a fucking moron.

then open an own store and pay the 400$per hour ?

Wagies should all be automated

Show me one economists that say what he claims. Most will tell you the wages approximately match the workers marginal revenue product of labor.

>>17903311
That's the same thing.

>>17903015
Economists are right. Maybe if stocking shelves required an IQ of over 50 it would pay more

>>17903015
National socialism is the only way

>>17903015
The supply of unskilled workers able to stock shelves is more than the demand, thus the job doesn't pay very well.

The demand for unskilled labour would be higher generally in a more free market, and the possibility of advancement even without academic merits would also be better.

>>17903015
Also this person: Immigration is great!

>>17903015
They should absolutely get massive bonuses for working during the corona panic. Normally, those jobs are low paid, becuse pool of potential workers is huge, but that doesn't mean they aren't important.

>>17903078

MUH FREE MARKETS!!!!!! CAPITALISM DEFINITELY ISN’T AN OBSOLETE SYSTEM THAT WON’T BE SUSTAINABLE IN THE NEXT FEW DECADES AS WAGE LABOR IS ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!

>>17903015
Where's the poorly drawn stick figure that goes with this?
Also I won't be surprised if they cashiers and let's be real here people who watch you use the self checkout get a temporary but significant pay increase

>>17903015
I hate capitalism not because I believe communism is a better alternative, but because communism would benefit me more.

>>17903015
wtf I thought his Marxist comics were ironic!

>>17903015
>store workers risk their lives

>>17903015
Someone doesnt understand Supply and demand

>>17903015
Guess what, if the current grocery store workers won't do it at the current wage, and nobody else will either, then wages will go up.

>>17903970
>has never worked a store in a nigger town.
>has never worked a liqueur store
Normie fucks are dangerous without the fucking plague giving them an added boost to their stats.
Be glad you will never know being threatened for your life because you refused a sale because of no ID while also being threatened jail time and fines for not checking IDs.

>>17904029
yeah, niggertown clerks are probably in comparable danger to police officers.

>>17903078
>on mass

>>17903015
when no one shows up for a month I bet you can stock shelves for 16$ an hour in rural montana

>ITS BEEN 3 DAYS WHY THE FUCK HASN'T WAGES REFLECTED INSTANTLY
>OH WAIT IM AN ARTIST ON TWITTER AND JUST ASSBLASTED I WONT GET A FREE THOUSAND BUCKS SINCE IM PERPETUALLY UNEMPLOYED AND A FAGGOT

>>17904029
well shit someone give this guy all their money since he has to ID black people for beer

>>17904065

With the exception that the clerks don't have a gun at hand.

>>17904115
Mother fucker don't dodge the point of that post.

>>17903915
>THAT WON’T BE SUSTAINABLE IN THE NEXT FEW DECADES AS WAGE LABOR IS ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!
okay, let's wait a few decades then.

>>17904115
Look anon, a job may be low status but still very important. Garbage collectors? Have you seen Naples during garbage crisis?

>>17903915
Lol he mad.

>>17903915
Ok then who goes out and fixed downed powerlines buddy? Last time I checked people wont do that for free buddddddddy

>>17903015
Thats right, its not the Chinese Communists at all blame Capitalism so you don't have to work.

>>17903935
>because communism would benefit me more
Too bad this world runs on greed.

It is your own fault for not being unionised. If you want good wages and safety during times of crisis like this then you should have unionised.

Capitalism didn't fuck you over, you just didn't take the power that you could and assumed that your boss was running a charity.

Companies isn't going to give anything away for free, it is a business, if you don't force them then they are not gonna do shit.

>>17903015

i'm probably losing mine this week too, see you in the bread lines bros

>>17904281
people get fired for talking about unionizing in some of the workplaces that are taking the most heat right now.

>>17903915
>Few decades
>30 years
>OMG! WE NEED THIS NOW!

>>17904252
>who goes out and fixed downed powerlines
Whoever the government decides has to do it.

>>17904337
It will take decades to prepare for. So yes, we should start now.

>>17903386
>National Socialism is a mode of production

>>17904311
Of course, if people unionise then the CEO is forced to give workers rights and great wages. And safety in crisis like this, CEOs don't like to lose power and to have workers controlling the rights and wages of the workers.

In a free market CEOs will always try to stop unions. Swedish police used to execute unionists in the streets, but there were too many of them so the economy would collapse if they punished all of them so now all workers in Sweden have 5 weeks paid vacation and nobody really suffers economically in due to covid19. At least no workers.

Companies COULD break the law many workers can't afford lawyers, but if they are unionised then they also get lawyers so that makes it difficult.

Management who don't stop unions are dumb. Because they lose power.

>>17903935
I hate Capitalism because you never know if someone does something because he truly like you, or because there is money at stake.

>>17903386
Follow your leader

>>17904378
If you know the future, then short x10 everything
>>17904359
Usually the most incompetent company around, funding it even when it's doing a shit job and it's in loss

>>17904463
Implying under communism nobody will benefits themselves above you.
