it literally kills me that people are getting paid this much money to do simple work, and they still aren't happy enough. i admit: i make too much money for what i do. and people want the wages INCREASED?
>>55734457

that's crazy, that's the same as my job where i actually have an understanding of tools/equipment although i do get on-the-job training for it so take that as you will

It's actually quite nice, m8. We have a lovely house on the lake. It allows me to have a social life -- ie go downtown with some friends -- and help spend money on groceries and surprising my parents with gifts.
I want to be a cart pusher for $11
That's pretty good compensation for mindless work that a robot could do
>>55734719
I'm 18 and saving some cash before moving onto college.
Another thing I hate hearing:
>"oh cashiers get paid MOAR and they do less work!"
I have a friend who is a cashier and he says the work isn't as easy as everyone thinks, especially on the fucking tough hectic days.
>>55734457
The idea is that they should be paid more, not because the job they do is simple/mindless/boring, but because they know the job well enough to not fuck it up, and to reward the employee for doing functions outside of their job description.
That's why raises were a thing for a long time.
>>55734878
i can confirm this
i tried to be cashier, my body was not fast enough
And your co-workers are why Self-Checkout is a thing.
And I fucking hate self-checkout.
>>55734863
It's not really when you factor in the opportunity cost.
>>55734848

>i make too much money for what i do
I prefer to think that you are a shill for some right-wing think tank, because otherwise you are the most pathetic person I think I've come across on this board - and that's saying something.
Capitalism doesn't pay people what they deserve. Capitalism sets wages according to what the market rate for labour is. You try to screw your employer out of every cent possible, and they do the same to you. If you ask for too much your employer fires you and if they offer too little you leave - that's how it works. If you are basing your satisfaction with your pay package on how easy you think your job if then you have fundamentally misunderstood capitalism. The only criteria for deciding whether you're paid enough is whether or not someone else is willing to offer more.
I usually hate using the term 'sheeple', but really you leave me no choice. Americans really do seem to be brainwashed corporate drones.
>>55734977
You arent paid to be a cashier because the work is hard neccesarily, its more that the work sucks too much to be a full staff with a lower wage than current.
>>55735741

I feel you OP, I work stock at a grocery store. It's easy money, very low stress, and I make slightly above min. wage. All of my coworkers do nothing but relentlessly complain about their pay, and how bored they are.
>>55735871

I mean shit - boring is good. boring is safe. I like boring. I like routines. Maybe it's my Social Anxiety and autism talking but Cart Pushing is the best job in the world. It's fucking simple. No fucking dumb bullshit, just me running around grabbing carts.
>>55735206
he wasn't even the same ID new friend..
but yeh you have a point its bizarre, when i worked in a factory at 16 my coworkers were the fucking laziest do nothing fucking immigrant pieces of shit I never encountered working anywhere else for 10 or 11 bucks
I had to quit it felt like I was literally in prison with all the fucking ethnic gangs
How much do Americans tip their cashiers?
>>55735741
>Capitalism doesn't pay people what they deserve.
You're right it pays them what they accept. You can always live in the wild and hunt for food.
I'm almost a millionaire, and I was dishes for fun for minimum wage. lol
People like you will never get the world runs on people like you to do nothing, to not help themselves, to always wait for someone else to come along to fix their problem.
People like you give me reason to live. Just another stone to step on.
Man up or just kill yourself, seriously. You're not getting any younger and live isn't going to get any easier.
I find it hard people like you even exist.
Do you realize there is people banging down your door for a job, and you cannot even be happy with the lot you have.
>>55736809
they dont
I'm a Kmart cashier. But because I'm a male I am also told to bring in carts and, maintenance, and stock shelves. Females are rarely told to do those things and we all make $7.25/hr
>literally kills me
I don't think you know what "literally" means.
>>55736809
Kek. afaik all the big chains don't allow tips in their policies

>>55737325
I only see tip jars at Chinese places. Maybe because I live in a more urban area
OP kill those ungrateful fucks they're doing nearly no work at all for good money and still complain about it. Scum like that doesn't deserve a life

Except you can't because you'll get arrested for camping without a permit, hunting without a permit, having a domicile that is not connected properly to a power grid or with safe water systems, collecting rainwater, etc
>>55734457
>that's right, goy. Be happy with what you have. After all, you're not some hippy-commie-librul, are you? mindless jobs with no future are the best too. Anything to keep you from thinking. Thinking is bad for you.
it's because they think that literally all employment should be able to provide a lifetime of financial support, when it's obvious some jobs are for kids or young people in college, and that's all... a stepping stone job.
the assumption is that you will eventually move up the career ladder as you get older, not decide "yes, this is my career for life, now give me enough money to afford a mortgage for a half decent house"
>>55738038
Yeah, if you move a mile outside of the city. Did you know alaska is half the size of the continental US ? You could live out there like a king, but that would mean not making excuses and getting the fuck off your ass.
Imagine the life of having to work all day just to feed yourself, and not have time for anything. Sure would be nice. Not.

Most people are incredibly bad when it comes to budgeting. And not to mention people are just lazy in general.
I live with my parents and hold down a $9/hour job but this is because I'm busy doing graduate school too.
My only complaint about my hob is that they heckle me for being a bit slow sometimes but that's just because of sleep deprivation naturally making me slow and I like to make sure things are done right. I don't drink the caffeinated jew either to perk myself up. Other employees may be faster but they fuck up all the time whereas I rarely fuck up.

You're going to miss those shitty pop songs when the Christmas songs start playing for the next month and a half. For now it's not much but after Thanksgiving it's going to be fucking Jingle Bell Rock all day.
I've worked in multiple warehouses and steel and aluminum factories and I want to strangle these assholes trying to pretend working as a cashier or McDonald's cook is hard work. Try working in a hot ass factory picking up and throwing 40 pound chunks of metal for 12 hours a day for 15 dollars an hour. You can't take any breaks either because that would stop production.
>>55734457

When I worked retail the only people that complained were the dumb asses that were living above their means. Multiple kids, living in an apartment or house that cost too much, often single mothers.
Maybe, just maybe, if you didn't want to go to school and get a better education or even learn a trade, you shouldn't have had 2 kids from two different guys? Maybe you shouldn't have cable, netflix, a new smartphone every year, hulu+?
Seriously, I never understood those people. You're at the bottom of society because of the choices you made. You don't deserve more just because you want more.

How long have you been working there? I felt like blowing my fucking brains out every night when I worked at the counter of a department store. It was boring to the point of depression for me.

It's obvious you are lying retard. You don't live in China. I don't think burger flippers think they are doing harder work than imaginary jobs invented to sound cool on the internet, but I'm sure they feel they work harder than $6 an hour warrants.
Plenty of people do far less than the McDonald's chef and get paid more.
>>55741033
Who the fuck said I was criticising capitalism? Whether it's a good or bad system is beside the point - for better or worse it's what we have. I was simply pointing out that OP's behaviour was completely at odds with the economic system he's living in.

>>55744451
Sure dude, just work at Costco for 25 years and you too can be making 25 dollars an hour to be a cashier.
>>55744451
I'm a bit older but holy fuck I envy the kids coming in.
They get a part time job doing whatever when they're 18 and then just put in their 25hrs a week and pile on the hours in holidays/xmas etc. By the time they've finished college or uni they're probably already earning $15 or $16 easy. Then they just stay. By the time they're like 25 they're pulling in about $55k with the way costco pays bonuses.
>>55744565
I applied online and got called in for an interview less than a week later. Got hired on the spot after a 15 minute interview. It's really not that hard to get in.

There's gotta be some catch for earning that much full-time.
It makes no sense for a company to be paying that much more for no reason. Maybe it's only super-selective for full-time positions and seasonal/part-time jobs.

Being a cashier is fucking hell. The only upside to this is that time flies since you hardly ever have time to let your mind wander, making work days seem shorter.
Moving carts around is where it's at, you can daydream all you want and it's chill as fuck. I wish my boss let me listen to music on the job, it would have been the best job I ever had.

m8 the median income is something like 30k, 50k is more than enough to live a nice comfy lifestyle. I earn just slightly more than that and I have almost no debt and I drive a four year old BMW and I'm able to save like $1k/m. If I had a wife who worked we'd be pretty set.

Depends. If you're not "MUH STEM DEGREE" or just fancy a pretty easy job with minimal stress that pays decently then it has it's upsides. In the context of this thread (comparing to other shitholes like walmart) it's a pretty sweet gig.

$50k/yr really isn't much at all. The median income is so low because most people are subhumans.
Majoring in STEM/business and actually working hard pays more.
Hell starting salaries for Junior Accountants at Deloitte is usually $55k/yr.
Hell if you work a proper job like that + you do freelancing/your own projects/business in the free time you can easily make $120k/yr+ with minimal effort. It's all about how you apply yourself. Never let yourself waste time and make earning money like a game.
In my opinion it's degrading and incredibly degenerate to be earning under $60k/yr in North America. Money is just so easy to make if you apply yourself. You can drive a car for uber, shit you can buy fucking icecream and a cooler and sell it to people for a couple bucks in a busy spot.

It's viable for the vast majority of people, and nonetheless it was just an example.
The point is that it's really easy to make money if you actually put your head to it and get off your ass. There is opportunities all around us, you don't have to work for a boss you can do shit on your own instead of always asking for permission from the world.

So what you doing/getting paid? This is where a time stamped pay cheque is required to prove you're not an autistic 17yr old who has never worked.
$50k is fine enough to live off for many people...plus you can easily move up in Costco because they'll only hire managers from within. Get to the stage where you're one of the warehouse management team and you could be getting well north of 100k to walk around and tell people to fix shit.

Just barely, but it depends on what you want from life. $50-60k/yr after taxes and basic necessities isn't all that much left, especially not enough to invest to be able to achieve financial independence in the near future.
>>55746348
Maybe in Thailand it is. But like I said most internships and starting salaries are around $50k/yr, and that's just for beginners... Once you work a few years you're in a good spot to be earning a lot more.

Not really, there is some really quite nice apartments in a nice area for about $1.5k/mth. For not living in Scarborough and in a nice looking apt you can pay a bit more senpai.

Remember CAD isn't at parity any more...unless your rent is like $600 USD
I live about an hour from Toronto and I pay like $1100 but it's for 1,000 sq ft and 2 large bedrooms. The other guy in his "bachelor" probably has <600 sq ft. It's ok though...he has clothes to buy and parties to go to where he regales other cardigan wearers with tales of their superior status in life.

I legitimately hate my fucking life.
Worked in a supermarket for nearly 4 years, first as a cart pusher, then as a cashier and now in the warehouse unloading deliveries that come in and breaking down the stock for it to go out onto the shopfloor. Out of all of these roles i've had i'd say the first one was probably the best just because of how easy it was, but got mind numbingly boring and repetitive. Being a cashier was shit and makes you realize that the majority of people literally have no basic manners at all. Now I hate my life working in the warehouse as im constantly busy as fuck and get barely any breaks. Plus i'm on the same wage since i first started even though i have to do the most work out of all of the other staff and managers.
God i hate retail

It's not a waste of money if it's close to my job and to things I need.
Why would I spend all fucking day commuting to wherever i need to go to in order to save a measly $400/month? It makes no sense.

My commute is 6 minutes. Bet yours isn't unless you live on the same block as your workplace. And if you do...sad bastard.
>>55745894
It's a little ridiculous what you have to go to in order to be hired for the simplest thing. Went to apply at K-mart a few years ago and had to go through nine thousand pages of shit it seemed like. Went in to talk to the manager and saw tons of niggers there. Only niggers, actually, save for the manager.
Good stuff.
>>55748389
Hear the cashiers in my work crying all the time about this or that. Usually cuntish customers or the fact their feet hurt or they didn't get to take a break in the first 3 hours of their shift. Here...have a fucking lollipop.

Get another job. Seriously I work in retail but mostly stock and moving merchandise. The only downside is fatigue from standing long hours and some heavy lifting. And I get paid $9 and hour to do this, much better than you do for a more hazardous job.

The worst thing that happened to me was the time i had just finished serving this woman when she pulled out some coupons from her pocket and was like "I WANTED TO USE THESE!!!" and was getting really mad for no reason. Like how the fuck was i supposed to know? You're meant to hand over the coupons before you pay, i'm not a mind reader. Anyway i explained to her that i could get a supervisor to refund the transaction and then i'd re-scan all of her shopping so that she could us the stupid fucking coupons but no she just started losing her shit at me and started calling me all sorts of things because she didn't get to use her dumb coupons. I was relativity calm at this point and again explained to her that i could have the problem resolved but she just kept going on and on and on. So after a few minutes of putting up her shit i start getting pissed off with her telling her the way she was treating me was out of order and not needed and told her to fuck off politely as possible. This is when she really lost her shit and took offence and was saying how she doesn't have to put up with this sort of crap and how she could shop elsewhere (even though it was totally her fault and was blowing things out of proportion) so i laughed at her and said okay then go shop somewhere else. She then grabbed me by the neck and was trying to find my name badge so she could go report me. I continued laughing and was like yeah okay go report me.I couldn't help but laugh at how pathetic she was being but about 5 minutes later when she finally left i was pissed off at the fact she actually got me by the throat and pretty much assaulted me. I shouldn't have to put up with that at work, if it was i guy who done it i would have definitely punched them.

In the end she did report me to my manager, but someone had already told them that something was kicking off on the other side of the store and she'd seen the woman get hold of me on the cctv cameras. I thought i was going to get fired or something for reacting to the woman but my manager didn't give a shit and basically said don't worry about it.
>the woman was meant to be banned from the store after this
>still see her regularly
>moans about things and gets angry with staff at every possible chance
Some people are just really pathetic
>>55750062

>>55750062
>I live off my friend and I walk to work
>>55750387
in that case I'm sorry for being a cunt.
I agree that everyone should strive for more if that makes them happy. I'm living comfortably at ~52k but it's early in my career and I'm always hustling for more. I just think it's shitty to suggest an honest living on 50k is anything to look down on.
>>55750444
I'm not sure what you're implying. I just got into a nice CPO '11 E90 and I live alone.
>>55744394
Yeah, middle class and up. Poor people wouldn't pay $55 just to get let in the door. Even if you save money in the long run, stupid poor people aren't going to think that far ahead
>>55734457
america and canada are the only countries where the people who make the least money are still far wealthier than an average person in many other parts of the world.
>>55750550
>I just think it's shitty to suggest an honest living on 50k is anything to look down on
My point was that if you don't settle for average it's very easy to make a lot of money in North America.
Now if you're from Cambodia or Bangladesh or something you're fucked even if you finish the top university in the capital and work as hard as possible(unless you're incredibly innovative).
Most of the whiners are people who likely loaded up on debt from college and couldn't find work in their field because they thought they'd coast by on their bachelor's degree and nothing more.
>>55734457
I only made minimum wage working the same job.
It was fun though. Easy, private, and always more work to do. And when there wasn't, I could sit in the cart bay and read/play gameboy
Also i lost like 40lbs that summer from all the walking around, and I got a tan/bleached hair from the sun. Got laid that fall.
Thanks Walmart
Most bitching i see are 35 year olds with two kids working a job meant to fund a teenager / young adult.
I mean, everythings gone to shit as far as job markets are concerned around the world. But i don't understand why they suddenly expect shit tier work to pay their entire lives. It sucks, but it's more to do with them making shitty life decisions than 'da greedy corparations stealin our munniez!'

What makes it worse is that I, typically, get about an hours worth of break in my 12 hour shifts. I wipe people's bottoms. I put them on bed pans. I literally, and figuratively, deal with people's shit for minimum wage. When I was pitched the job, it was "You'll be getting blood pressures, blood sugars, and doing EKGs and whatnot :^)." Then when I get there, the floor is severely understaffed leaving me with 10+ patients at a time. Last Sunday I had 15 patients at one time at some point in the day. The nurses give medication and do IV stuff. I do literally everything else. Baths, feed patients that can't eat, change beds, pass out food trays, pick up food trays, walk patients that need to be walked, assist people with literally everything they need.
And what makes it funny is that a few years back I was a certified pharmacy tech. The people that work in the pharmacy? They don't even need a pharmacy tech license and they get paid ~$14-15 an hour :^)
>mfw
>>55750303
>Are you an apprentice or doing this for med school or something?
I was pre-med at a state university a short while ago but had to drop out due to funding. I moved back home and got a retail job. Problem was that it was part time and didn't pay much. So, a friend of a friend said there was an opening at a hospital for an entry-level, no cert/license required job. I assumed that this was going to pay at minimum $12 an hour. Nope :^). The reason I took it was because, even though it paid less per hour, I'd be making more money because I'd be working more hours. I'm probably going to be quitting very soon and finding a new job.
All of you retail folks that think you have a tough job. Imagine that you literally have to wipe people's asses that come through your line. Image you have to clean up their piss and vomit on a daily basis. Imagine that you have to deal with people passing unexpectedly and loved ones coming in bawling. Retail sucks but it's not THAT bad.
>>55751150
You're just an idiot and a kek.
Stop being a fucking slave.
>>55751150
Oh, so you're like the nurses' bitch? My mom is a nurse, she complains about the techs all the time but she's never actually said what they do.
>>55749880
>>55750305
Jesus sounds like she has a mental problem.
>>55751150
So you don't even have a certification? I didn't know there was hospital grunts lower than CNAs.
>>55734878
truth. cashiers have to deal with the angry people
>>55751329
>Oh, so you're like the nurses' bitch?
More or less.
>>55751665
>I didn't know there was hospital grunts lower than CNAs.
I'm basically a CNA but without the certificate. I suppose the most technical term you could use for me is a Medical Assistant, but those are typically the people in doctor's offices that take blood pressures and whatnot.
>>55751150
I don't suppose you have any dealings with medical lab techs at all? I'm working on my certification for it and just wish I could find more opinions on their job.
>>55748040
Yeah after 35k on school and if no minorities are applying for the same future job.
>>55740733
liberal cities believe the rainwater belongs to government.
>>55752073
Yeah I deal with some of the lab people. You go floor to floor, room to room, and get blood. At my shitty hospital, my position collects sputum, urine, and stool specimens. Might be different at non-shitty hospitals. Outside of that, to my knowledge, you sit down in the lab and do whatever the hell the supervisor tells you to do. I don't know exactly how they do things but I imagine you just rotate from sample to sample.
You just deal with patients long enough to get what you need. You'll probably see them once or twice a day, if that.
>>55737325
Reminds me of the "Who's the better tipper? Men or Women?" jars. Of course, the women's jar was overflowing while the men's was nearly empty. Men aren't jewed as easily as women.

>What is cost of living
>What is disparate minimum wage levels
The minimum wage in Seattle is currently $11 set to increase to $13 then $15 by like 2021 or somewhere in that range. Cost of living in Seattle is also considerably more than say bumfuck nowheresville Texas where the minimum is $7.25.
Just saying y'all may very well be comparing apples to oranges
>>55734719
Eh, I live in Seattle, WA one of the more expensive cities in the U.S. and I've gotten by supporting myself (cellphone bill excluded) on the minimum wage in the past. I mean at one point I was working 60+ hrs a week between three different jobs (and saving roughly half of my take home pay).
I've graduated college now and make a decent living but still- it can be done.
Money can flow in two directions- in and out and it doesn't hurt that I have low standards.
>>55744655
waitkeks are the lowest tip earners.. There are other professions where tips are common that are much higher. My dad often gets 500-1000 tips on half day fishing charters.

Thanks, interesting so the lab techs don't collect the waste samples just the blood samples? Did not know that cool.
>>55753159
That's at my hospital now. We're a tiny little shithole. At the larger, properly functioning hospitals you might have to collect it. You probably won't have to be there when they piss/shit but you might have to make the trip to floor instead of having one of me come down and give it to you.

Yea at least when I was an army lab tech they had to go to a specific bathroom do their business in a container and have it sealed by a lab tech. Was efficient and hoping civilians do something similar.
>>55739553
I was a cart pusher when I was 18 and 19. I worked for CostCo so we actually got paid somewhat decently and consequently attracted a decent workforce. I only worked summers and winters when I was home for college and quit when I was 20 so I could take a summer quarter and finish college early.
>>55752333
Don't be unreal bro. Not all minorities get the job you will apply for because you have experience under your belt now. Also, if a place hires someone obviously more unskilled than you because of such reason, its not a place to work for. You will hate it.
>>55753747
Depends on where you work I suppose. Working in a hospital is completely different than working in a clinic, doctor's office, etc.

You can try your luck with engineering. I think I only have 1 or 2 friends from my engineering classes that didn't find a job in their field, but they were extremely lazy. I'm shocked they made it as far as they did.
>>55754212
What a prostate milking you're getting.
I make $26/hour working in a granite mine. Didn't have to take any schooling and got trained on the job. I have to work 50 hours a week of hard physical labor though, so is the money even worth it when you literally have no time to live and are constantly nursing muscle injuries(without time off or compensation)?

As long as someone makes more than them people will never be happy with any wage. There was a study done with monkeys where two monkeys where given the same amount of food to complete a task at some point the scientists started to give one of the monkeys more for the same task and the other monkey stopped doing the task and refused his reward even though he was receiving the same reward as always. people will never really be happy.
>>55735741
The man is correct, and there really isn't a positive solution if you have no skills or experience, so I suggest you get some. Me and my wife together make nice income, and bills would still eat our lunch if we didnt make wise money decisions and use our skills to get our employers not to low ball. My wife wanted to build our house with a contractor at once and take a mortgage to pay for it. Instead I moved us into a travel trailer for over a year, spent every loose penny on materials and built it myself as I went along. Now we are building a fat nest egg and have enough money to live comfortably, and a separate account just for emergencies. Use your heads and fuck financialization.
