“The next time you pump gas for yourself ask yourself what happened to the gas station attendants that used to pump gas and wash your windshields. The same thing when you can’t find a department store clerk. It’s the same thing with those damn automated phone answering services that most firms now use, it’s just too expensive to hire human operators. And its the same with grocery store baggers from days of old. Thank you minimum wage. The damage of minimum wage isn’t some theoretical, you have just gotten so use to it that you have forgotten what things were like, or you are too young to know the good old days.”
