Haha , well you just gave me a reason to practice . Thanks . <| sep |> Stay broken up with him . It ' s about equally fucked up if he actually meant it or if he thinks it ' s ok to ' test ' you like that . I feel like his talk of being a psychopath might just be some kind of projection . <| sep |> There ' s enough tales here , people getting canned because they ' ve been there long enough to go up a pay grade , just look at rtalesfromretail for some of the nonsense people deal with . that makes sense . Why would you pay someone more for an extremely low skill job when you can train a teenager to do it in 1 day for $ 9 hr ? I don ' t expect excellence and surpassing the demands of the job , however if they do , I ' ll show due appreciation . They ' re paid to do a job , not worship at the altar of the company . This is what you get when you work at Costco ! High pay , low turnover , but they work you hard . Walmart and such don ' t work you nearly as hard or expect nearly as much , and that is reflected in the qualityprice point .
