One of my big eye opener was 20 years ago. I worked at a university and was talking to a student about high school type part time jobs like fast food and he was like those are impossible to get and im like whaaa. I proceeded to tell him that when I was in high school. If you went to a fast food place, asked for an application, and filled it out. Whelp you were pretty much guaranteed to have it accepted. Im like that is why beavis and butthead work at one. If you show up on time and not in an inpaired state then you would get a raise and they would continue to give you small ones that would add up over time (nickle here and there) and a bump if you took a shift supervisoror something. After talking with him I realized that when I go to those places they have mostly adults working them now. I only ever see teenagers working at local mom and pop places mostly now. The thought of actually having to compete for the crappiest of jobs makes me realize how bad it is now.
