Is that why the cost of my burgers went up a dollar?
Yes. That's totally why. They definitely, most certainly would not have gone up in price for any other reason.
I used to joke all the time about all the prices shooting up in my store. I said it was because of the $0.25 raise I got one year and what a greedy ******* I was for accepting it.
This topic coming up over and over on multiple threads and elsewhere is ridiculous. It's like people really are wearing blinders and just refuse to see that there is
no such thing as upward mobility for low paying jobs.*
* One out of thousands may see some kind of promotion after x amount of time and y sexual favors. Yet again, the important thing to consider here is
proportion. One person moving up does not mean anyone can or ever will. There is no
ladder as seen by every conservative political cartoonist ever. What really exists is gigantic funnel packed full of desperate, disposable people. When you work at a low paying job, you are signing yourself up to be used up and replaced. There is no "mentoring." You are not gaining "work experience." Having Walmart or McDonald's on your resume is as good as wiping your *** with it. You are wasting your ******* time.
