Category: Antiwork

My biggest complaint after working retail and fast food for 2 years, holy crap, is the fact, you can’t sit down or you’re “being lazy” like no frick you, the human body ain’t supposed to stand all of a 8 hour shift. 2, 15 minute breaks ain’t gonna cut it, I’m sorry, I have family members who have back issues just from working retail.
