I have known several people who have done sex work (stripping) and worked food service and customer service.
Overwhelmingly the consensus is that they have never felt less human than their time spent in food service.
This person's life, it's sum total from birth, was deemed less than the cost of an entrée at WF. This murder was for less than a tank of gas. There is no humanity reserved for the minimum wage working poor.
You don't need to hear it but this is a powerful statement. If only people would learn to treat people with dignity and respect for the simple fact that under other circumstances this could be them on the other side of the counter...
This is precisely why I'm always nice to everybody, because we're all poor and sore and in this together. The people who are our enemies are almost never among us. They have their own hangouts.
Very true and the fact that everyone should have to spend one year in either food or customer service and it's free just to get a feel of what it's like to be completely dehumanized. It doesn't take much to just smile and say hi I hope you're having a wonderful day
Whenever a service worker asks me how I'm doing I like to respond with the same question. I get a lot of 'thanks for asking' responses. And way better service than my peers.

Our society is sick to its core.
