My mom talks about this shit all the time “flipping burgers isn’t a job!”, and demeans a shit load of other service jobs. She says those are just for teenagers to buy a car or to save for college (as fuckin if).
But theoretically, if they were only for teenagers and broke college students, you really think those millions of jobs would all be filled by people between the age of 16 and 24? Seriously?
Classic boomer logic… just because they could afford a decent life on min wage set 50 years ago doesnt make it true when the min wage has lagged behind inflation and not even accounting for greedflation…
My father pulled this gem out on me. I pointed out that fast food restaurants are open for breakfast and lunch, you know, while high schoolers are in, you know, school. And college students are in, you know, school. So by default adults who are not in school must fill 2/3 of the shifts. Surprising how fast he shut the fuck up when he realized that the job was, in fact, a real job that real adults with lives and children and rent were doing. He never said they were jobs for kids in my presence again.

Boomers are living in a fucking dream
What is it, then? A hobby? Are these people burger-flipping enthusiasts?
burgerites. it’s their religion, and I’m american enough to let people follow whatever deranged deities they want, as long as the fries are good.
Meanwhile, everyone else is living in the nightmare they created.
“Save for college” 😂😂😂
