Increase Minimum Wage - Tumblr Posts

Company owners aren’t paying the people they replace with robots. We all can see this.

Poverty is just poverty. I just don't think a country this wealthy should have homeless people.

I’m happy where I work.

Doesn’t mean I think it’s the best. Doesn’t mean they don’t take advantage of me and my coworkers. Doesn’t mean they didn’t lie about the companies they work with to improve the company’s lives.

I’m getting my sinuses worked on next week… I’m glad to be able to afford it.

I’m happy.

I’m happy that the day will come soon… soon that eyes will be open.

The scars on my face to show I’m making through life. Life is supposed to be easy now.

At least I’m not surrounded by drunks in the middle of the busiest zipline in the dessert.

At least I get my legally required breaks now. At least I’m numb to those who have thrown up, pissed, and shit in the public area where I use to work.

I’ve been grabbed too many times back there.

Retail life can be fun… but it should be treated as important.

I’m not your family. I’m not your grab-at and get-away.

I’m not working for that zip line. I’m getting my minimum wage fixed.

I’m happy because people know how the store works… and it’s not a rush to upsell just to get paid less than what you sell.

$20 of 2 photos from a $8 worker won’t sell.

$20 in produce will sell better from a $16 worker.

I was a circus act. I still am. They all just look at me behind the glass.

And I smile…
