Minimum Wage Gets Minimum Recognition
PHARMACY | RIGHT | NOVEMBER 18, 2016
(A man has come to the registers and is buying some travel sized shampoos.)
Customer: “I’m going overseas for a while. Thought I’d stock up.”
Me: “Oh, that’s exciting. Where are you heading?”
Customer: “India, Spain, and then Morocco for a year. It should be good.”
Me: “I’m so jealous! I’d love to go travelling when I can find the money.”
Customer: “You already have the money. You’re just spending it on other things.”
Me: *deadpan* “Yes, like rent. And food.”
(The man didn’t seem to comprehend that not everyone can afford to go overseas at all, much less for a year!)
