Swiping's a skill.

Exactly. And if you view counting out correct change as a marketable skill, you have bigger problems anyway!

Its a JOB!

At least it keeps a person employed....or haven't you--OP--heard the unemployed are not welcome in the job market. Many ads even state no unemployed apply. The schedule might even be desirable for someone job-hunting if it gives one time off during the day for interviews, etc. Its better than fast foor for $7/hour!

Perhaps not in the La-La the OP lives in. But who knows exactly...

Good for you. Someone out there will hopefully find it useful.

That's decent pay for a job like that. Its a minimum wage job in my area. No one round here would pay $9 an hour for a job like that.

People forget it's a just a simple job, not a career. Not every job can be a career, (who would want to do that for 30 years anyway?) and no employer should have to make a simple job like that into someones career. Its a good job for a older teen, college student, someone with nothing to do in the evening, someone that needs job experience or a retired person.

It's not the pay that's the problem.

It's the fact that the employer is trying to hire one person to perform a job for two people while only paying them as if they're doing a job for just one person.

It would be like a company hiring a Receptionist to also be the Janitor for only $9.00 per hour.
