I just always have thought it was wrong for a lot of the retail stores to make as much money as they make, pay minimum wage, and then expect more than the maximum out of their employees. I dunno. It's just that what I'm saying kind of ties into what Ch2tf was saying. Like, when I go grocery shopping, I see them bending over backwards for some of these places, but yet they're not even getting paid enough money to make a decent living. Then, it kills me when I see these companies making up silly job title names. And this has nothing against people working retail, it's all against some of the retail companies. Some were even open on Thanksgiving. For crying out loud, give them the day off. This is why I never worked retail, and thank God I never had to, and hopefully I never will. If I did, I really wouldn't care if I had to leave without a notice. I remember I posted that I didn't think there was an excuse for people to be unemployed. I thought why can't they just get a job and a fast food place until they can get back on their feet. It really shocked me when I was told on that same thread about how McDonalds and other fast food restaurants don't want to hire people with advanced degrees because they know they're probably unemployed and will leave when they find something else. Seriously??? And I'm not even going to get started on Walmart.

For those of you who work retail, I have a lot of respect for you, because I don't see how you do it. What they pay vs what they have some of you doing, is borderline slave labor. Seriously.
