Was talking to my mother today and she had just come back from the local subway. Apparently there were 2 girls behind the counter saying they get an extra dollar per hour working there vs working at McDonald's down the street. $15 vs $16. She seemed upset that they changed jobs to get the extra money. I asked my mother what the issue was, she proceeded to tell me they shouldn't be making $16. I told her that they got a better offer, shouldn't they take it? Isn't that the smart thing to do? She said yes, but what about McDonald's? I told her flat out they'll have to make a better offer next time. She looked at me like I had lost my mind. Now she's 55, was a union nurse, and has never thought about her benefits and pay before. Wow.
