This line of thinking is garbage. So much in this world these days just comes across as a way to judge others, denigrate people, etc. People think retail and restaurant workers are somehow beneath them but everyone spends money at those places. Why does an insurance salesman or bus driver deserve any more respect? People want to attribute prestige and class to things. Appearance matters too much for too many.

These are companies making millions, even billions, in revenue. Stop propping them up as if they need defending. Their profits are not being generated by teens and retirees. Workers everywhere deserve to share in a companies success. More should be done to actually have a dialog about these things instead of people jumping to conclusions and never reflecting on their opinion.

Every few months these political discussions pop into the thread and it does nothing to help our community and the things we actually like and agree on.
