    Oh you must be one of those lucky ~30% of the workforce who get to work in offices and actually have negotiating power in interviews.

    What’s your plan for raises for grocery workers who don’t get luxury of wage negotiation no matter what?

      I mean, what are you working for? To have something to do or to make money? If your work isn’t worth your time, there surely are other possibilities?

        Ah, so it’s the “get a better job” take, is it?

        If every grocery worker in town gets a better job, who is going to stock the shelves? When the stores close because they have no staff, where are YOU going to get you groceries from?

        You NEED grocery workers. The economy NEEDS grocery workers. So they deserve to be paid well.
