![From the "Would it be ok if we only give you 20.6 hours a week split up between multiple shifts of 2-3 hours on who knows what days?" [582x530 - 352KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/v0C2EJ.png){kind=link}
Would that be ok with you? Why aren't you applying?
You know it, they make unreasonable demands for the job then cry they can't hire anyone. Naturally they demand Daddy Gov't do something instead of getting their shit together and offering jobs people want at pay they are willing to do the job for. Too many decades of getting away with shitting on people for law wages has spoiled them all.
You know what I fucking hate is when an employer says -
"Must be able to multitask!"
Which basically means must be unable to focus on anything for longer than 30 seconds without getting interrupted needlessly because they're too fucking cheap to hire enough people for a job that requires several people. So they expect you to run around stressed out 8 hours a day and somehow they can't understand why there is such a high turnover rate.

They know.
I've worked a few lo-rent jobs like this over the years. They were great when I was a teen, you still got to see everyone in town if you worked the local gas station, but now? Even with the increased wages, it's not viable to try and keep a household going on what they're offering.
I looked at a few last summer as my regular unemployment was ending. It just wasn't worth the drive and gasoline I'd be spending to go there.
That was kind of always the point. Those are entry level jobs for teenagers. No one should expect to raise a family working somewhere like that unless they are management.
Even then they demand too much for too little pay.
