Fits like a glove here.
I am/was a barista at a local pie shop. I was hired in October after I quit my old barista job for being discriminated against and bullied daily by upper management… I wont even get into THAT So at the interview they tell me I make $15 but that I get cash + electronic tips and split it w the people who worked that day (max 4).

So I see how much we make in tips per day. I “make” an average of $30 a day in tips.

…swirled to perfection.
Back in the summer of 1999, I took a job in the mall working at Orange Julius. Despite being a young teenager, I quickly became the best and most responsible workers that they had.

The results would determine the amount of my hourly raise. I ace the written test, but the manager informs me that she CANNOT give me the maximum 30 cents per hour raise…

Work 8 HOURS OF YOUR FUCKING LIFE!! Being paid as little as your bosses…

In 2019, Harris proposed a $13,500 raise for all teachers on the campaign trail. Biden proposed a $60,000 minimum salary for teachers.
