"wow it sure is hard to stand here for 4 hours pushing buttons and swiping cxredit cards, not to mention a valuable skill (even though the register does all the math for me) I as a walmart cashier am entitled to $40,000 a year and medical benefits for me and my spouse"

Look, I'm not saying that's what I want. The reason there is an excess of minimum wage workers right now is because:
A) large corporations cut out as many of their middle class jobs as they could.
B) urban population is exploding faster than those people have places for them in the world

Now heres what I do want; stores like walmart and mcdonalds do try to push their employees as if it is a real job.. Working at places like those isn't like it was a few decades ago when it was just a bunch of high school punks, slacking off and reading magazines and whatever most of their shift. Now, upper management tries to squeeze every percentage of efficiency they can out of bottom barrel workers and make them stay competitive with each other so those workers trick themselves into thinking that their status in the company is something they've earned and worth holding on to.

When you make cuts on the number of employees in middle management, you tend to see a burst in efficiency of those at the bottom of the chain. Instead of protesting the injustice of the cuts, it actually causes the workers to paradoxically work even harder in an effort to show their worth, ultimately leading to competitiveness amongst workers, and a rise in productivity.
