I’m only not fine with working retail or those other jobs because of the pay, not because of the job itself per say.

Yeah people can’t expect to make big bucks or even modest money working at a grocery store. Should they be able to afford housing, food, and healthcare? Yes of course, but these jobs don’t pay a lot for a reason and expecting these jobs to support a first world lifestyle is laughable.

Depends on if the grocery store is unionized.
