I don’t know if the letter is real, but this was my parents. They refused to use the self-checkout because they didn’t work there and it might take away jobs. Meanwhile, they’re the same people who complained that pretty much any basic customer facing job shouldn’t pay a living wage.
They exist.
The letter isn't real in the sense that it says Malwart at the top. Otherwise it does exist.
I can’t believe my brain didn’t catch that. I instantly saw the walmart brand symbol and looked no further.
You know you can take the good part and discard the second one?
I wonder what their reasoning for "customer facing job does not deserve living wage" is.
I bet it includes the phrase unskilled labour.
When "I don't think this job deserves a living wage" meets "no one wants to work!!11!1!1!"
There are still business owners in my city whining about a lack of workers. The jobs they're offering? Part-time with constantly changing but always horrible hours, no compensation besides the minimum wage. Yeah I guess everyone is just lazy?
