I’m a 25m. I have two jobs, one of them’s at a local Subway. Yesterday, near the start of my shift, I helped an older man get his sandwich together and charge him out. Once at the register, he commented about how he always sees new people at this location. “People don’t really last at this store, I always see new people when I come in. What is it, do people not want to work anymore?” Slightly taken aback and annoyed by his phrasing, I replied, “I just don’t think this place pays enough to want to work for, if I’m being completely honest.” Not info I shared with him, but we make $7.75/hour. Right away, he flipped the script and began to agree with me. Told me about how he talked to another younger person the other day about how much they were making and he says he told them, “Are you kidding me?? I made that back in the 90’s!” Said something about major corporations being greedy and not paying employees what their worth. I’m telling you, did a complete 180. I just agreed with how true and ridiculous that is and let him know that Subway isn’t my only job. “It can’t be.” Anyway, all I know is, I should go back to school.
