“you’re riling everybody up and making a lot of negativity with your comments”
why? because i told the lady who’s been there thirty-four years (to my six and a half), since the day the store opened, and who i can fully and freely admit works harder than i do, that i make $4 more than her? yeah she SHOULD be riled up
Talking about wages is a right we should exercise every day.
