Really well written piece. Reminded me how depressing all retail jobs are.
It is amazing the number of people who work - just to meet the bills that allows them to continue to work. It seems fair to live that way if you are unemployed and on benefits. But it is pretty depressing when you are in a full-time job and have to live like that.
I know it is beta - but the older I get the more sympathy I have for poor people.
Also - I think it is sad that people consider it a 'perk' being able to work as much overtime as you want. Man - what a perk that is. Being able to hand over more of your life for less than it is worth.
