I work at subway for minimum wage, and we have a tip jar at the checkout station. At the end of each shift my manager makes me split the tips with her. Today I decided to ask corporate if this is allowed, and was told that managers work just as hard as me, and they are “putting the money back into the store anyway.” I recently cut myself by accident and we had no band-aids, and the bathroom hasn't worked in a few weeks, they make us go to a restaurant next door.

“Let's go through deductions that can save you money!” -No, I haven't purchased a house -No, I pay rent, not a mortgage -No, I haven't hired a live in nanny -No, I am not a CARES act recipient, my boss is -No, I have not donated thousands to charity -No, I don't have a traditional IRA -Yes, I did withdraw from said nontraditional IRA to afford rent refund slashes in half Better give up my Netflix account so I can buy a house and pay $1,000 mortgage instead of $1600 rent.

So I work in a pharmacy in a very rich neighborhood. My coworker was out in the front of the store facing inventory, and a customer walked by with her young daughter. My coworker smiled at the girl and said hi. The girl’s mom told her to not talk to “the help” and walked right by my coworker. This is what the wealthy think of the working class. We are not even worthy of being spoken to.
