Honestly, what else do you need to say that that?
Do you know how much $16 per hour x 75 hour guarantee is? I'll tell you. It's $1200 per month, BEFORE TAX. The most you can make as an FO is $21 per hour.
The cashier at Walmart making the federal minimum wage is making the exact same amount.
I make $40 an hour and I think I'm grossly underpaid for what I do. Nobody can tell you what to do, but I think the fact that guys continue to work like slaves to earn Walmart wages is a big part of the reason the industry's gone down the tubes.
