Never said it was, but I give no leeway to those employees who just stand around and talk to each other without even greeting their customers. They are there to work, not socialize. That is what break time is for. They also have no business having their cell phones turned on and going on Facebook on their phones. My phone is off when I'm working, so I expect the same of everyone else. Managers are the only people who need their phones on when they are on the floor.

If I were being paid what US retail workers get paid, I would do the very bare minimum to avoid losing my job. Want more than that? Pay me more.

No, they don't, most make far more than minimum wage. When I was at Best Buy, I started at $9 an hour, which was in 2006. Minimum wage at that time in CO was $6.75. When I left BB I was making $12.50 an hour, which was in 2011.

If you don't like the pay, don't work there. That is why I am against a $15/hour wage for fast food workers. They have no business making that amount of money because they aren't doing $15 worth of work. $10 an hour is the most they need, which is still beyond damn generous.

Exactly.

Anyway, I finished X-Men Evolution today and overall, it was an average series. Hell, most of the series was more of a high school drama than a super hero show. It also never made sense at times because we had one episode where the second door to Apocalypse was opened, but then the next episode has the team on a cruise. WTF?! Yeah, let's forget that the world is close to coming to end so we can have a trip to the Bahamas.

Also, except for the Brotherhood, none of the villains were every truly developed and there were a lot of loose plot threads that were left hanging. Like what was the point of introducing Legion and having him leave saying he would be back if he actually wasn't? Oh, and while I liked the stuff with Apocalypse as a whole, the main attraction was barely on screen and pretty much did nothing. In fact, he was just as bad as the current movie version we have. WOW!! The Four Horsemen didn't even make sense because there was nothing in their powers to make them resemble the characters. Magneto was probalby war, but Xavier, Storm, and Mystique do not fit the bill for the other three Horsemen.

Another thing I didn't like was how Wolverine stopped using his brownish orange costume to suddenly wear a black, maskless outfit. What the hell was up with that? It was a pointless change and didn't fit when no one else changed their costumes.

The animation was pretty good for the most part though and the music was adequate. Some of the voices were completely miscast though while others, like Kitty, were purrfect. Although, since I had just come of watching Gundam Seed and Destiny I couldn't help but make references to the characters they voiced there (like Moonstar being Flay and the Hydra Scientist being Ramius).

In the end, this show was a mixed bag. It had a lot of entertaining moments, but there was just way too much fluff and filler without enough super heroing around. My favorite episodes would have to include Dark Horizons, Walk on the Wild Side, Self-Possessed, and Ghost of a Chance. My least favorite episodes are really anything that featured Spyke as the main focus and Sins of the Son. I'm just glad I didn't spend money to see this series over again.

Oh, and Hulu also seems to have the 90s Spider-Man cartoon on it, so I guess I've got a little less than a month to get through it before my free trial ends. Why can't they just put it out on DVD?
