This is what it’s like being a manager. It’s a shitty job but her other option was what? Do everything half arse and stay the cashier. News flash, these stores need to turn a profit. Labor costs cut into that. I guess that other option is to just not have these stores in rural areas and then there would be no stores. And she wouldn’t have her 50k a year job.
Newsflash, these stores will not only be turning a profit but out of business if they have no workers.
So many corporations just exist to goose the stock price with "rising" quarterly earnings and they don't care enough about their workers nor do they care about what the company will be like in 5 years because they hope to have retired by then so they let everything turn to poop. Not gonna be there problem. Eff it.

If this woman opened up her own general store and didn’t stock it and left boxes laying around and paid herself 50k a year. She’s not staying open long and most likely has her arse sued by someone tripping over the boxes.
You mother frickers don’t live in reality. She has zero risk. Zero.
It’s like that person saying how expensive internet is? Well it’s less expensive than what businesses pay.

This country had a 30-40 year run where this was not the case. Granted, it was primarily the post-WW2 era where spirits were high and Much of Europe was rebuilding. But there was a bit of a social contract where corporations actually cared about their employees in the sense of paying them a wage high enough to where one spouse could work, the wife could start home to raise the kids, they could bug a home, and live comfortably. Many if they even enjoyed a nice pension for when they retired.
That all started going to crap in the late 70’s, and it’s not entirely fair to blame the corporations. There were a lot of societal and global factors contributing to the change. The 80’s accelerated it with its “greed is good” mentality, and we’ve done little to counter it. This reckoning is long overdue and my hope is it continues. There will be short term challenges, but if the paradigm is changed in the long term I think it’ll end up being a good thing.
