Im sick and tired of hearing low wage workers complaining and asking for a higher minimum wage. Customer service is a joke. Whenever I have to interact with low wage workers, it just reminds me how lazy our low wage workers have gotten. What ever happened to working hard and moving up? We should LOWER the minimum wage to remind these people they need to work harder, NOT whine for government handouts.
You will be lambasted for such an honest opinion. But really, there should be NO minimum wage. Government should have no control over wages.
And we can scale back all of the worker protections to the point where we go right back go the days when companies forced minors to work under dangerous circumstances for long hours with peanuts comp! Sounds like a true conservative wet dream.

^ Third party interventionist to the core. You must be a government official yourself.

I suspect that preconceptions are rewarded with the appropriate behavior. For example, I think that "low wage" workers are good decent people as a result I can't remember the last time I had a bad experience with customer service, crap customer "service" policies but not many customer service representatives or workers. who regularly deal with the public, Maybe its having a good sense of humor, a little humility, patience and a dash of empathy.
Instead of raising the minimum wage to $15 / hour, why not invest that in training people to learn some kind of valuable trade or skill so they can rise up out of that crappy job into something better or higher paying?

I guess you've never been to Motor Vehicles or a social security office? They're not exactly customer service oriented.

Sounds good. Lets start with you. Cut your pay in half? That ok with you?
PS - this is one experience that taught me everything about dealing with "low wage" workers.
Years ago, my car was towed by the City for a parking violation. When I got to the tow yard, the room was filled with angry people and it seemed that the more affluent they were the angrier they worth. Sitting behind inch thick plexiglass with small holes drilled in it was a young woman fielding the worst kind of abuse imaginable especially because the at the time the City only excepted cash. The angrier people were, the louder they yelled the slower she worked. When I cam up to the window, I greeted her with a smile, made a small joke, paid my money and got my car in a matter of minutes.
Lesson, don't crap on people who don't make the rules and they won't crap on you.

See the story I just posted.
