Antiwork

My boss is upset I haven’t been able to find someone to work for $10 an hour.

I needed to renew the work ad for customer service. I also noticed that another had had expired for a different position she’s hiring for. I figured I’d ask if she wanted me to renew that one as well and this is how it went. Me: I need to renew the ad for customer service. Do you want me to renew the ad for the other position Her: No. I also don't want you to renew the ad if we're not going to hire anyone. Me: The kid I wanted to hire ended up getting classes for the days I need someone and there hasn't been anyone else that is promising. Her: Fine, but you need to hire someone.

I needed to renew the work ad for customer service. I also noticed that another had had expired for a different position she’s hiring for. I figured I’d ask if she wanted me to renew that one as well and this is how it went.

Me: I need to renew the ad for customer service. Do you want me to renew the ad for the other position

Her: No. I also don't want you to renew the ad if we're not going to hire anyone.

Me: The kid I wanted to hire ended up getting classes for the days I need someone and there hasn't been anyone else that is promising.

Her: Fine, but you need to hire someone.

So she’s getting upset at me because no one wants to work for $10 an hour. I’ll get applications but as soon as they hear that the pay is $10 and hour they stop responding.

Of course, she’s never wrong and I’m just refusing to hire someone.

Update:
She thinks people are ridiculous to think they deserve more that $10 an hour for running a register. Her definition of running a register:

Filing medications in will call
Answering phones
Curbside orders
Checking in orders
Putting away orders
Packaging packages for mailing
Processing phone payments
Setting up deliveries
Building medical equipment such as shower chairs, wheelchairs
Cleaning wheelchair rentals
Greeting every customer before they get their foot in the door.

She LOVES to yell at her employees and sometimes customers. She got mad at a deaf lady. She slammed a door while she had customers in the store. She’s sent people home crying.
