They'll earn $10 an hour when we start agreeing to pay $5 for an orange, and then we'll get people who don't suck. Jesus.

I guess I am just naive. I used to be a cashier in the days before scanners and baggers and the like and we had to manually ring shit up and then run down and bag it. I did a good job because I believed that was the deal. Excusing shitty job performance because of lower pay is why we have all of these morons running around. They should be taught to have respect for themselves, their customers and their employer. Remember, the schlep making $5.15 today may be your secretary someday and continue to excuse her own poor performance because what you see as a fair salary is viewed by her as too low. Just about everyone feels they are underpaid and if that is an accepted excuse for poor performance this place is in trouble. I have had a lot of shitty jobs (including shoveling horseshit) in my life and often they came with shitty pay but I did them all the best I could because, above everything else, I could not have respected myself if I was not doing my best.
