Long story short I went today to get my car’s tire patched at a local tire shop(i’ve been there before). There was this middle aged guy(owner) who was working alone and was complaining that no one wants to work and everyone is lazy. I literally asked did you pay your employees enough so they can at least afford basic necessities. He didn’t answer my question and said everybody starts at the bottom and shit like that. Obviously everybody has to start somewhere but that doesn’t mean that even minimum wage should force us to live paycheque to paycheque and in poverty even after working 40 hrs a week.
