Why is it almost impossible to find wagies that care about their jobs? I remember just ten years ago you could basically walk into any store and ask about a problem they never heard of and they could recommend you products that would help and give you the benefits and drawbacks of each. Now you're stuck talking to some street rat that either says shit I don't know man or we don't have that here.

most of those wagie jobs pay $15-18/hour despite 1 bedroom apartments now costing $1500/month or more in most of the country. their schedules are shit, management is deranged, and most of them don't even get full time hours. i wouldn't give a shit either if i was subjected to that hell. $30/hour is the bare minimum to give a shit.

(no, i don't care about shitskins making $25/hour starting in niggerfornia or meth monkeys paying $500/month for 1 bedroom apartments in sistercreampie, niggerbama.)

Kek, managers get all the hate they deserve. I remember waging while in college and my manager absolutely refused to give me more hours despite the fact that I wanted them and she needed people to work on those days. It's just some deranged power game for them, where they try to minimize the number of people working at one time to save as much money as possible.

Capitalism is unironically a detriment to society.

The free market is different than capitalism. The free market is natural and good. Capitalism is a corruptible human designed system and it has been corrupted.

That's why everything gets shittier and shittier under capitalism.

It's rare, but it happens. The niggers at UPS somehow lost a $4,000 camera I sent for repair, and the most helpful person was a girl named Harley who sounded like she wasn't old enough to drink. She was actually, legitimately trying and I was impressed.

Then remove the €10 note back to your pocket to illustrate that they actually have your benis in their hand.

Another one of these people who thinks jewish money printing, regulatory capture, insider trading, bail-outs and bail-ins are "capitalism". Capitalism isn't something that can be corrupted, it's just economic freedom nothing more nothing less. What gets corrupted is the government and the owners of the central bank (which shouldn't exist under capitalism), who bring about a demographic crisis and economic slavery.

Lots of old people still care. Old lady who works at the local Grocery Outlet bragged about being in the business for 50 years (bagging groceries lel) and still enjoys it and helps me find things if I need. Younger folks are OK with it, but yeah nobody is proud of it. Historically, these jobs could actually afford you stuff, now it's shitty supplemental income at best, so the only people who like it are those who don't need the money and are doing it for fun or to stay engaged with society. So old people who have stable families and aren't strapped for money.

I'm also starting to think that everyone who likes their job works from home, just because I can't imagine wasting money on a commute every day. Do wagies get compensated for travel time or gas money for their daily commute? I know my mom doesn't at her library job.

no. the average wagie will scoff and laugh hysterically at your question. but what's really funny is the average wagie being so mentally buck broken that they think it's a reasonable arrangement to be forced into wageslavery while simultaneously bearing the economic burden of arranging their own transportation (commuting for free and paying for transportation.)
