A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

At first they promised us it would keep the prices down, I already knew that's not how businesses operate but hey...I got no influence over this so let's see how it works out.

A few years after grocery prices triple with all kinds of excuses, yes excuses...claims about how what when where and why it happened which all turned out to in reality be nothing more then a temporary nuisance, but prices never went down because duhh it's a business.

So here we are, paying the wages for jobs we do ourselves and a 200% tip to boot.

I really think we should keep track of the amount of time spent at the self checkout and make a bill for the store manager under the title: "freelance register operator" at a polite $40 bucks an hour.
