Antiwork

I know this may sound silly at first but I'm tired and I'm stressed, I just want someone to understand me. So as you all know, this weekend is mothers day, and all the stores are packed. I was the only bagger scheduled for my shift with 5 registers open, this happens every day I work (only weekends but still). I barely even got a break today. They wait until there are literally no carts to ask me to go out, and it's not even asking it's more telling me. I run returns back when they ask, I put baskets away when they ask, I dont ever say no, I work my ass off there, and come home exhausted. I dont get paid enough to do this shit. I feel that my kindness and never wanting to say no is letting them take advantage of me, even if it's just…

There are 2 parts to this story, but I’ll keep it brief. 1st- left law school and became a claims adjuster for a large insurance company. It was a 30 mile commute in traffic and had to wear a suit, no taking off a jacket, even though we never saw clients. Imagine a Home Depot but all cubicles, no clients, ever.

I don’t know if this is the right Subreddit for this question but at what point is the wage vs inflation hit a diminishing return. What I mean is at what point do we just even out with a consistent wage and price for things, before we know it 30/hr will be the new avg and inflation will make it hard to get by on 30/hr. Are we going to just keep going or is there some kind of solution to this circle. I make little over 26/hr and I have to constantly remind myself that that’s not a lot anymore. I’m 34 and when I was a teenager that was really good money and I find myself sometimes stuck in that same time period in my head thinking thats good money, not even close now unfortunately.
