Force them to work retail, customer service, and/or civil service jobs until they 'earn' their net worth at an hourly rate

Food service sucks because it's mostly young people that haven't learned to work over a dickhead customer. Been there, done that.

First tech-support/customer-service job learned me quick. Always bullied as a kid, and I mean ass-beating kinda bullied, not mean names of FB bullied. Learned to walk tall and bow up late in high school. That mostly solved it.

Got my first real job getting the occasional ass chewing. Fuck me, I'm just trying to help! Found some knowledge in a hurry:

• Customers are like dogs, they smell fear. Never come off apologetic or subservient.
• Treat customers like an acquaintance that just called or walked in for help. Treat them like equals.
• "Yes sir!", "No sir!", "Immediately sir!", shit gets you eaten.
• Polite and firm, that's the ticket.
• They got screwed over? If you did it, apologize sincerely. If someone else did it? Apologize for the hassle. But don't take the responsibility on yourself.

I could go on for ages, but those are the highlights. Sometimes you have to stand up.

Had a dude start in on me, wasn't my fault but it certainly looked like my company could have done better. Stopped him mid-rant, "Wait. Wait. Are you mad at me personally?" Cut off like a light switch. "Well... no... of course not... but..." "I get it. This is a hell of a frustrating situation, but my job is to help you. Let's get to the bottom of this thing. fix it."

F to all the 2020 food service homies (but also imagine having musk working the fryer next to you lmao)

If a minimum wage worker started working at age 18, and worked until 67 (the retirement age set by the US Social Security Administration) and worked 40 hours a week every week, they would make less than a million dollars in their life (at the US federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour).

So, a millionaire with $10M would have to spend more than 10 lifetimes making up the overpayment.

A billionaire with $1B would have to spend more than 1000 lifetimes.

A billionaire with $200B would have to spend 269,745 lifetimes.

If Jeff Bezzboi earned 15$/hour, worked 16 hours a day, 365 days a year, it whould only take him 2283105 years to earn his current net worth.

So what's your excuse? If you just stop buying starbucks, pull yourself up by the bootstraps, had no expenses and work continuously for 22000 lifetimes, then you too could become almost as rich as Jeff!

I actually really like the idea of a "shitty job draft" like the military draft but for jobs everyone hates to do.

Because maybe if everyone had a lottery chance of ending up having to do it for a few shifts, those jobs would quickly become less terrible to do.

The reeducation gulag with American characteristics

I think everyone should be forced to work retail or food service to develop a healthy sense of misanthropy.

Zuck, I want you to explain to this irrationally angry woman that this coupon from four years ago has expired.

After a couple hours, they'd be like "uh could I be eaten instead?"

Wage Labor and Capital is an excellent, shorter introduction to Marxist critique of Capitalism. I highly recommend it!

Food service wastes resources. Instead, have them work in mines or on farms.
