If the owner just checked in for half an hour a day and fucked off with $10 I'd consider that a win
You don’t know how agonizing and back-breaking it is to spend 20 minutes digging through emails to find my employer identification number and having to drive to Best Buy to get more ink so I can print motivational posters with the Getty watermark still on them. I have to spend minutes of my day contemplating what I should tell other people to do for me. Sometimes I even have to sit down and fill out a sheet of paper! After all is said and done I only have eight hours remaining to decide what boat I should buy to replace my own one.
Sir, this is a communist site. We dont do that sort of thing around here.
There it is, the braindead retort of every drunk driving trust fund brat who's daddy owns a failing business that would go under in six months if it wasn't for low interest rates
The fact you think that's a reasonable reply definitely means you don't work for living, ask your dad if I can bum a 100 bucks bro
If you work like two people, shouldn't you be paid at least double minimum wage?
And if they say it's because of pay, then clearly it wasn't a good exit interview.
I recently switched jobs. It was 80% about pay and 20% about management at the old place tripping over their own dicks all the time.
The old place had good parties though.
Middle school math textbook ass employer
"One person working makes a minimum of 9$/hr. One person doing the work of two people makes $12/hr. How much money is this dipshit stealing from his employees every hour?"
Nonzero chance this dipshit pays out the nose to some corporate landlord, barely breaks even, and thinks short-changing wages will make up the difference.
~$98. It's an estimate but minimum wage work in places like coffee shops is up there among jobs that pay lowest per labour value.

Go figure bootlickers condescend to coffee shop workers and say that's "not a real job."
I applaud the shit coffee shop workers have to put up with, definitely couldn't do it myself
"Pay me $20/hr and I promise not to steal from the register, how about that?"
BRINGS ZERO DRAMA
I've seen guild invitations claiming to be "ZERO DRAMA" in numerous online games.
When that's said, the "drama" comes from inside the house and was already there.
Great general rule about people (or in this case, employers) - if they state something that should be a given when no one asked, the opposite is true.
It's like shopping for sausages and seeing a label that says "100% Pork NO RAT MEAT".

It also immediately tells you that you're going to see some slurs in guild chat.
My site tagline is the one about how hearing the slimy whisper that V*ush calls a voice turns me into a castration-obsessed 1970s era political lesbian
It came straight from the heart. I think i followed it up with a line about how i haven't gotten bottom surgery yet, but seeing V*ushs beard still makes me lose 2cm of depth from spontaneous vaginism.
I wrote a few of them, but the one I'm most proud of is "Welcome home, comrade"
Chuds will try to paint workers who want better pay as being entitled, but good lord small business owners are the most entitled fucks.
Big corpo jobs are fucked, yes, but my worst bosses were small business tyrants. Even corpos have some internal sense of organizational standards that most petty bosses also have to adhere to, but small business tyrants have little crowns on their heads.
Corpo jobs are a lot more self-aware from what I've encountered, small business tyrants think they're actually good people
Hey they give us 2 pies for thanksgiving and some holidays off! That way more than makes up for the fact that they're paying machinists here taco bell wages and no raises for 5 years!
I have known small business owners who weren't like this but the material incentives of the position are definitely to be like this
There is one exception to the rule: local non-profits.
But they're strapped for cash so it's not like they can pay you much even if they wanted to.
Based off the comments on this post, I'm just now realizing that my experience has been pretty atypical. I've always had a better time working for local businesses, but I guess I've just been lucky.
For example, I'm working at a pizzeria right now and the owner will deliver pizzas or work in the kitchen pretty frequently. He pays us above min wage (not very common for a pizza job here) and makes sure tips are split evenly between foh and boh. It's a much better environment than when I worked corporate fast food stuff. I find that working for a well liked local businesses can make working feel a bit less alienating. But again, I guess I've just been lucky with the jobs I've managed to land.
Worked at a warehouse for a small family owned business once and now I work at an Amazon warehouse and it's like fucking night and day. At least Amazon managers have no like personal investment in the goings on really, everything is just numbers and you're just one cog out of many so its easy to avoid scrutiny. If a small business tyrant decides they don't like you? Good fucking luck.
I have a similar experience while looking for a place to rent. A few private landlords said "no foreigners", one refused to believe my female S.O. made median wage for a man in our city and demanded to see her tax documents, and one tried inserting a clause into the lease saying I'm not allowed to cook "ethnic foods" (lmao).
At that point even the realtor was shocked at how shitty these people were being and referred me to a big corporate landlord. They asked to see my ID, my pay slips, and then handed me their standard terms and conditions. I moved in that week.
I am in no way defending any landlord ever, but sometimes being just another number can work to your advantage. Numbers don't have skin color or nationality or gender.
I never thought I'd see Amazon as a comparatively better employer.
A lot of people welcomed big box stores and conglomerates into their neighborhoods, and not just for the lower prices.
Small business i used to work at tried to not pay me for 20 hours worth of work. Thankfully I had been recording the hours I worked because I like recording stuff and could show them the pics I took.
Later they started using these wipes I had allergic reactions to, then lied about using them when I was very clearly having an allergic reaction, and then stopped giving me hours after I sent them a picture of a thing my allergist gave me that said I'm allergic to an ingredient in those wipes.
I worked for a gigantic company with sites all over the world and I offhandedly told someone im allergic to the hand soap so I bring my own. That same day the person who coordinates supplies for all the sites in my part of state emailed me about switching the my site to a different soap that I can tolerate.
Fuck that company too (ceo is a nepo baby) but small businesses commit the majority of wage theft and their owners are more likely to breathe down your neck
Well technically my facility still does 5 days/8 hours so it's not as bad. Honestly the standing up all day is nothing compared to having to wake up at 2 am and get to work by 3:20. It's absolute ass. But they pay more than $20 an hour and have health vision and dental benefits for a pretty low cost. It beats retail that's for sure
I'll take the 15$ starting wage, underperform and steal every day because you're still not paying me enough, thank you.
$12 per hour = works like two people
And yet only gets paid 1.25x what the minimum wage person does
15$ outperform the owner. so why the owner is payed more than 15$ with taht logic?
how about I crack your head open and then I'M the owner?
HOW ABOUT THAT JACK
Damn, so for the last one, you have to be the BEST, and do all of the above, including being a MEDIOCRE person?
When those shoes grow up I'm sure they'll find someone to wear them.
You have to be better than the boss to get $15 / hr. ~$30K a year, bet the boss is pulling way more than that lol
If you lick long enough, surely one day you will wear the boot 
jesus christ girl, consider a career as a professional killer
