Of course not, because many people have money-growing trees in their backyards.

Use your head, dude. Most people who work at shit award-wage paying positions obviously can't get better, and people kinda lyke, need money for obvious reasons (such as making a LIVING). If you're low-income enough to work at these places, then chances are you're not gonna give a shit about how it doesn't fit your ethics to work for a large corporation. Perhaps you're a rich little kid who has his parents pay for everything, but many of us here aren't.

No shit! But after you consider the common sensical concept that for these basic positions, more staff + lower pay gives a generally gives a higher productivity outcome than less staff + more pay, I don't see the point of asserting that.

I used to look forward to going to work until the last couple of months.. I have heaps of extra things to do (like train new people and clean out the whole case) and I still get paid the same :( So unfair!
