I've got news for you. You can make $500.00 a night being a waitress at the right place. You can make $20.00 a night being a waitress at the wrong place. As an individual, you are supposed to be striving to improve yourself, your skills, your knowledge and your value in the job market and move upwards. Not devote yourself to a job that requires no skills, no talent, no education and then start demanding more and more and more. We are not in the Soviet Union. If you want to make more money, keep working towards a better job/career. That is how life works. Most people learn that before they get into the job market.

This whole pathetic conversation is like arguing that a guy who delivers papers in the morning should be getting $25.00 an hour... because he deserves a living wage. He is supposed to be improving himself and looking for something better. Delivering papers is not supposed to be a career.

If you don't like the money you make doing your shit job, then find a new job.

If you don't like the money you make doing your shit job, don't expect me to pay you extra just because you are unhappy

If you want me to pay you extra... you better go above and beyond and earn it. I'm not in the business of going around all day passing out 5 and 10 dollar bills just because people feel that life isn't fair. I got my own to worry about.
