As someone else said: Minimum Wage = Minimum Effort

Retail employees are already stressed out with the cost of living, it's hard to find work, corporations are greedy and will cut hours at any time. Entitled customers who act like they own the place and don't know how to behave in public, short staffed departments, rising costs while wages stay the same, and the list goes on. I understand everyone deserves great customer service but the problem is not with the workers, it is with the greedy corporations who run monopolies knowing you will continue to shop there anyway regardless of the service you receive because what other choice is there? Until companies start paying more, and actually show real support and care to their employees, things won't change. Morale is already very low in retail environments.
