    So, you are saying that people in her position deserve shit wages, so that the owners can make bonuses.

    This is a really shit viewpoint. “If you have family members with problems, you deserve all that you get if you can’t get a sweet job.”

      No, those are two separate issues.

      Her situation has less to do with Metro, and more to do with the fact that she has two adult kids who can contribute to the household income, and that a cashier position would never be able to support three adults and all the expenses that go along with owning a home.

      Do Metro workers deserve to be paid more as the company posts massive profits? Absolutely.

      Should cashiers be expected to make $40 an hour? Absolutely not.
