This was my experience except at Giant Food. What idiots like Cavuto don’t get is many people on minimum wage are trying to provide for their families.

Worse - they simultaneously say that people should be GRATEFUL for any job they get, AND that anyone who works at one of those jobs is a loser, AND that those jobs should pay less.

In a discussion on what employers owe employees, a Conservative once pressed me to agree with him that employers owe employees only enough compensation to keep them from quitting. I said, “Sure, if you agree that employees owe only enough work to keep from getting fired.”

He was horrified! “That’s what’s wrong with America!” Apparently, for the employer it’s a business arrangement wherein he gets as much as possible for as little as possible, while for the employee there’s some kind of holy obligation to always give your absolute best effort, not matter how poorly you’re paid.
