I was in line at the Hard Rock Hotel last night checking in and it was a long line. I noticed there was another line for "key pickup". Everyone was tipping this girl - I am guessing $5 a pop (because no one tips someone a buck do they?) This chick must have made $30 while I was standing in line for twenty minutes and all her job fucking requires is a high school education. If you aren't above the poverty level you just aren't trying hard enough.
This is just an exception, jobs where you get paid 90$/hour with only high school education are not available to 99%+++ people.
I mean maybe she tried hard to get it, but even if everybody tried they would not get anything, simply because there won't be jobs like that for 99% of those trying hard.
