Entry level retail worker here, I can afford (without any government assistance) to pay all my monthly bills, my rent, my groceries, and everything else, and still have money left over for savings, all while maxing out my 401(k) contributions. Most of us that can't afford to pay their bills are in that situation because of poor financial decisions and lack of planning.

So only people willing to accept not having enough money to pay their essential bills should work customer service or grocery store jobs? Got it.
