There are cleaner discount stores that don't exploit their workers.

Did anyone read that book regarding working for minimum wage jobs around the country? I forgot the title and author. The author took various low-paying jobs in different areas of the US from waitressing to Shoney's in the South to working for Merry Maids in Maine. From what I recall, she worked at Wal-Mart in MN(?)
Nickled and Dimed is the name of the book.
