I'm not slagging him, I'm slagging the company that will pay somebody $10/hr for doing almost nothing. Remind me not to shop at Costco.
I don't know why you'd not shop there just because they pay their people well? In my experience they have the lowest prices on stuff of the big retailers around here. That includes: Walmart, Sams Club, BJs wholesale and other places like biglots, kmart and the like. If anything, i'd want to frequent them more since they are helping people out and I am getting good prices while I am at it.
I won't shop there because I don't feel that paying people $10/hr to watch people use their credit cards to fuel their cars is a good use of money. You pay some schlep $10/hr to do nothing and he thinks he's entitled to $10/hr anywhere he works. Then all his friends think they're entitled to $10/hr to do nothing all day. Thats why it's so hard to find decent workers, they hear stories like this and think they should get $10/hr as a starting position. Then they do a half assed job when they don't. That's my opinion which will not change so don't bother debating.
dude, you've gotta be jealous or something. why does this piss you off so damn much? not only do you think I'm a "schlep", but you seem to think this is the first job I've had or something, like I don't know what it's like to work? I've had jobs paying me $7/hr where I worked my ass off only to be treated like crap.
look, I GAURANTEE 100% without a doubt if you applied at costco, said "any position available", and they called you saying we have a job that pays $10/hr, gauranteed 25 hrs/week or more, and you came to find out that you really don't do much at all, you'd be all over it like you're all over this thread. the first week there I worked inside, and worked my ass off. now, I'm out at the gas station, and there simply isn't a long list of responsibilities. do I do everything I'm supposed to? damn straight. do I mind being able to sit and chat with people for 90% of my shift, and get paid the best I've ever made at any job? hell no. do I think that you're gonna come back at this post and tell me I'm a good for nothing, lazy bum who's stealing money from America's economy because I'm overpaid for my job? damn skippy
have a nice day
$10/hr starting pay for sitting on your ass and talking to people, that's whats wrong with America.
What's wrong with America is that most employers do not pay their people enough. It is really hard to live on minimum wage or even $10 an hour in any places. Just because you get by with Wal-Mart paying you $8 doesn't mean everyone can. Try living in the Chicagoland area on $10 an hour and see how far that gets you. Yeah he's not doing much, but first its law that there must be someone there and also, if anything he is doing a security job when it comes down to it. What's wrong with America are the fat cats at the top who will fire 500 employees to get their [censored] company back in the green.
