    I am a “fuck you, I am still working hard every day for mine” kind of person. I have known many people who flake out and try to take short cuts, then blame everyone but themselves for their problems. People who work for walmart are idiots. They go find an easy job, then stay long after they should. If walmart had a hard time employing people they would have to raise the wages and benefits. But they don’t, and don’t have to. Supply and demand. If I was a dog walker and walked a millionaires dog every day do you think they owe me a livable wage, a 401k, and Healthcare? Hell no, go find a real job. Yes, underpaid walmart employees are absolutely leaching off society. Go find some real work… take off that dumb blue shirt and either make money with your brain or with your muscles.

      If someone is underpaid, that means they are working harder/longer than they should for the pay they get, right? Which means they are giving more than they are getting. That makes it the opposite of leaching.

      Walmart is the one getting more than they should for the amount of pay they offer. So isn’t it Walmart that is the leach in this example?

      While I do agree some jobs are easier than others, those still require a human to do the work, so that human should be able to live from doing that job.
