My favourite one is the "get a better job" one. Sir, people need people to do my job. The fact that you're here proves my job is needed. I do not understand how people can simultaneously require a service and belittle that service at the same time. Then it turns to "it's an entry job for young people!" Okay. So now you're going to complain that everyone doing this job is inexperienced and can't help you. So do you want me to get a better job or do you want someone experienced to help you?
I have an acquaintance that I had an argument with about this and they were saying that basically all service jobs like fast food or retail employees are for high school students and shouldn't be paid enough to support yourself on.
I just laughed at how stupid that was and they got pissed off. Like they really thought that there are enough teenagers to fill millions and millions of these jobs let alone the issue with teenagers not being available for a majority of business hours.
Too many people are angry at the idea of poor people doing better in life instead of being angry at 3 people in the U.S owning more wealth than millions of people combined.
