Basically someone was reaching out to to the community asking for people to apply at a pizza place because they liked the pizza but the store was open for fewer and fewer hours. I simply asked “do they pay well? what is the management like? if they are struggling to find staff there is probably a reason for it”
The old people in my community (which is basically a retirement community since everyone here is 60+ and my home is a 200k house that we lucked out on even being able to buy) did NOT like that. A guy argued with me up and down that people are just lazy and don't want to work and that workers at a pizza place are entitled for wanting anything more than minimum wage. I pointed out that both employers and landlords take advantage of workers and that since he's retired he shouldn't act like he knows what the current work culture is like. Just because he could live comfortably on $5 an hour doesn't mean we can live at all on $15.
He then said that before retirement he was a business owner and is currently a landlord and HE'S never taken advantage of his workers/tenants.
Sure buddy…
