20 years ago I worked at a shitty chocolate shop in a tourist town that put up a massive banner over the front of the building, opposing the effort to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
These assholes would have literal temper tantrums if I wasn’t running at full speed through the back of the shop with knee-high sugar boilers cranked full bore, which I could have easily fallen face first into, to fetch whatever the customers wanted in that moment.
Like, you fuckers want maximum effort from me, while actively opposing an increase in the minimum that you are allowed to pay me? Fuck all the way off.
I would sometimes pick up lunch at the Taco Bell across the street and do my best to keep the total below the $6.75 per hour I was being paid. That wasn’t a lot of Taco Bell in 2005.
Best? They don’t pay the best, I don’t work the best. Act your wage.

That’s a good slogan that one.
“Act your wage.”
I stole it. No idea from where :-)
