I stopped by Dollar store to get some stuff and found a huge line, due mostly to only a single cashier. At first I thought I’d tough it out and wait in line. While standing there a talkative old lady in front of me (with a completely full cart) claims no one wants to work.

I inform her that when she entered the workforce in her early years she could likely have bought a house on the money a cashier made at the time, where as kids today would have to work 10 jobs and sell an organ. She squinted at me and in all seriousness said, they shouldn’t be buying houses, they should be happy to buy food.
