the minimum wage excuse is total bullshit imo. that should be even more reason to want to do a reasonably good job.

Yeah, worrying about whether I can pay the rent makes me want to help out some some yuppie who got their job by being rich/sleeping with someone

True, but there's only so much ugly genitalia/faces/bodies that one can look at before they toss their cookies in the bedroom.

I got a new part-time job though! so now I have two!

I'd kind of say that was true, actually, because when I only had $1.50 a day to spend on food, I went out of my way to make everyone happy so I could keep my shitty convenience store job so I could hopefully even afford Ramen noodles the next day.

I don't know if that's what he was getting at, though.

So being paid the least you're allowed to be paid legally should be it's own reward? Or because they should be glad they at least have a job?

I love helping/talking to customers as long as they aren't jagoffs to me or other people I work with. When they start to get pissy for whatever reason, I'm just extra nice to them, with the slightest hint of sarcasm.

Also I don't do too bad for a guy my age, so maybe it seems more worth it for me to be nice and good at my job.

kinda. I mean, let's face it...minimum wage jobs in America aren't really jobs. The reason they're paid so low is that it's pretty much a system of interchangeable people. It's no coincidence that McDonald's etc. have such a high turnover rate. They don't really plan on keeping employees, at least the ones who break in at the bottom. Most of those ginormous companies operate on that principal.

This is going to sound hearltess, but maybe, just maybe, you should get a job that pays better. And, if you can't...well...take a good hard look. True, some of it is luck, some of it is circumstance, but some of it is how you come off in an interview and the skills you have.

I don't make oodles of money. I've worked really hard to put myself through undergrad and now grad school with little to no help. I work really hard at my job, and frequently put in a lot of time of my own. I'm managing to save some money and buy some nice things. Please don't resent me for that. Please don't resent me because, after busting my ass all morning and probably the night before, I'd like a cup of coffee or a hamburger and a quiet corner.

right on man. I'd love a job with no or little responsibility, which is pretty much every low paying job I've ever worked.

ok i knew my post would be misinterpreted, especially by wackos like goblinboy. my point was basically what stephanie said, that if one is in a minimum wage job one probably needs it to survive, and therefore should try and do reasonably well. i'm not saying being a low-paid worker doesn't suck. although i'll take it over additional schooling any day.

hahaha wtf. i'm pretty sure the thread is about resenting PROBLEM CUSTOMERS. and there's going to be something to resent in any job, no matter how paying. i have a really excellent, fairly high-paying job now and dealing with the public is WAY worse for me now than it was when i worked in a grocery store.

(rough paraphrase) imo

I recently started in a new department at work where I'll be dealing directly with the public again. So far, no one's gotten too ugly with me, but it's great, because if someone is the least bit short with me, another girl back there just explodes after they walk off.

"Oh, my god! What a dick! What the fuck was HIS problem?! I can't believe how rude he just was to you!"

Then tells everyone else who wasn't around to witness about it.

For some reason, it makes me feel better, especially since in every case so far, the people she's done that with weren't really all that bad. I guess it's like...if she thinks it was THAT bad and I was completely undaunted by it, maybe I'm getting somewhere.

Although I know none of that is true and she's just a very dramatic person.

I'm graduating from college in August and finally getting calls from people offering me "real jobs" but I don't have good enough pay yet to get a car.

I'm working on it! After all, there are people that have web jobs and I know more than they do. So I'm pretty sure I have a chance. I'm also either going to somehow save up for a car or move back to DC.

Though it would help that I didn't look like such a queerwad terrorist. I'm an American, I swear! And I speak English!
