Like when it’s “Why do you want to work here?” I honestly don’t. I don’t want to be underpaid since I live in one of the most expensive places in the US and I’m being offered $17. I don’t want to go home exhausted. I don’t want to pretend like I’m happy whenever I go into work and during my whole shift.
