Tezz,
You are assuming a lot about the folks at the registers. When the economy dies, it is really about who you know that keeps you in work. We don't live in a real meritocracy.
I was a cashier at HD making $8.03 and driving 61 miles one way. Prior to that I was an IC design engineer.
Folks who got lucky in 2008 who want to believe in the lie of a meritocracy will chime in and say I was a lousy engineer.
10 patents and two stolen ideas, one from a competitor right off the datasheet (after others said my idea was not unique) and another by my own boss says different
I got asked back in 2015 for $100k, but was too sour about it all by then..it was also only a hired gun one year contract.
I am finally teaching HS freshman math after substituting since 2015, and trying to get in the club.
This is America; you can't know who is serving you at the register.
There are already Kiosks in some McDonald's but people don't like using them.
Older folks know how to navigate on Facebook and TikTok but apparently can't order their food correctly even if it has pictures lol

Everyone likes to believe they made all their own breaks, don't recall knowing someone before getting in, and that their success was all theirs. These were the expected responses.
I hired a guy who was living in a tent over a guy with Two degrees. I gave him that break and he, at least, thanked me when I was downsized.
Everyone has a right to pride in their work and where they landed on their own...even those you put down in retail.
No one has a right to make themselves feel better about themselves by putting someone else down.
Everyone gets a different load to carry in life.
I am the son of a VT Dairy farmer...a whopping 35 acre farm...6 years USN..no GI Bill for my time.I can’t help you here man. I was poor white trash. Both my dad and I are self made men. He made a life/career change just before I started in the industry and has done very well since then.
Neither of us knew anyone in our respective industries. Hard work, skill and tenacity are what made us. Idk what to tell you. Maybe it’s just different for Trades people than for College folk.
What kind of commie shit is this? Nobody? You must not know many people.What I am saying is that nobody is truly self made. Plenty of folks make the same decisions and things don't pan out for them, while it does for others.
So you know that's the exception rather than the norm.I worked in a super market deli… when I was 16.
I have experience enough to make those assumptions.
As for the “who you know” deal…. That definitely has some merit to it. Not for me. I got where I am through learning my craft, hard work and an excellent work ethic. I knew NO ONE in the energy field when I started back in 98’.
I just impressed the **** out of the interview panel and they hired me into a local utility. People there were shocked saying the same thing you are… “well you had to have known someone.”
Nope. They finally hired someone that was skilled rather than someone’s brother in law.
I really hated that ****, but I really despise the **** that we currently have.
