They want all of us living paycheck to paycheck.
If you have to live paycheck to paycheck you HAVE to show up for their shitty job paying a shitty wage what choice do you have?
If you actually had some money in the bank you might take some time off or have time to think and get another job.
This is why employers hate gaps in resumes
If you have a gap it means that you didn't have to work that particular period of time, which means you might want some time off at this job.
So they will hire a person with no gaps because they know that person lives paycheck to paycheck.
