Vegetarian Nazi
Today the teenage boy who rang in my groceries told me he was a vegetarian and then proceeded to mock the bbq chicken I picked up. It was awkward. He also asked me if I "found everything" I "was looking for." Twice. And, as a coup de grace, bruised my bananas. I'm only really upset about the last part

Long time no see. I just found you on face book.
You're bang on about Sobey's. I wasn't objecting to the comment, what bothered me is he actually sounded like a sincere inquiry, until he said twice in 2 mins!!
I think that there is a difference when we're talking rate per hour between starting wage and someone who has had the same employer for almost a decade.
When I worked there I think they paid 5.85/hr, no one in the front end had more then 25 hrs a week on the schedule and the shifts were 5 times a week. So I got paid roughly 292 as my gross pay, and there was a policy against working around another schedule. At the time it would take 5 years of employment on the pay scale before reaching 10/hr. And really, even after 5 years because of the 25 hr/ week restriction, gross pay would be about $500. It was ridiculous. Systemic, enforced poverty. I hated that job. Passionately.
Actually, I like to summarize by hating every single employer out there who builds a business structure on the backs of their underpaid, non benefit, non paid sick time, physical laboring workforce.
They can all get fucked.
