My dad is semi-retired, and is on social security, but just picked up a part-time job at a local Ace Hardware for some extra cash. Until last week he was generally a “work hard/bootstraps” kinda guy, but after just 6 shifts full of backbreaking labor and passive aggressive management for minimum wage, he's come to understand just how bad low-wage workers have it and is rightly pissed off.
It's disappointing that he had to experience it personally before believing it, but… one more boomer on the team!
