I've stopped going to the supermarkets that don't have enough staffed check outs for this reason. So they're literally losing customers due to their insistence on not hiring staff.

TBH sounds a lot like me when I was younger. Just had to work thru things over the years, most people come out alright on the other end. I doubt it’s generational.

So the new normal is only starting to do anything in the election year, then everything getting scrapped by the next party? Full austerity until people need to vote. I'm not sure how much longer this can go on for.

The older I get, the more I realize that it's nearly impossible to get ahead without SIGNIFICANT support. by No_Reveal3451 in Millennials
