People are funny about how much money they should make,My Sons gf's girl  just graduated from 8th grade,And went to work in a restaurant and she thinks its awful she only makes $7.50 per hour my self I think that a fair wage.

I buy as little as possible there, but some things you kinda have to go there. Cases of "super unleaded" soda (caffeine free Diet Coke), oil, spark plugs (I hate Autozone and NAPA), motorcycle batteries ( notched my battery box to run a 14LA2, cheap and easy to find)...

Won't buy meat or produce there, it is garbage.

All 3 of the ones we use locally have their own areas that suck, especially the magazine dept. But the one in Cordova TN is usually good for a hottie or two changing in the parking lot...

Its all good

Things like that really piss me off... ...

Yes Asset Protection is basically store security. We have a couple of types though. We have 404 which is the ones who walk the floor in plain clothes and bust idiots trying to steal stuff and then there are APGs which are Asset Protection Greeters, now do not confuse this with the People Greeters. We as APG do get to stand all day at the door and get yelled at by customers because we have to check their receipts.

It's pretty lame work and you have to bite your tongue when a customer starts cussing you out and threatening you because they are so darn busy they can't delayed for a mere second or two. But most of the time its pretty easy money at 10.00 an hour which is not bad for around here.

JOG I think the unions want way more pay than I think would be right,But the rich would like people to work for $1.00 and hour it would benefit them.

Bill, your thinking is way off here,, most jiobs arent working for the rich, & IF someone is gonna dictate what I must pay someone to sweep the floor & haul trash, & if its a fledgeling company, I may not be able to pay them 7+ an hour,, but if someone wanted a job & an opportunity to learn the other things going on in the busoness,, I mite could justify payin 5.. when he learns how to do more than just sweep & haul trash, then he can make me some $$$ with his  knowledge & training & NOW hes earning ME enough $$$ I can afford to pay him right,, see how that works? It creates jobs to ALLOW people to work for less .. Ive worked for less than minimum before,, in order to get my foot in the door,, I wasnt trained in the field I wanted in, & they werent gonna pay me to do what I didnt know how to do,, I had to work to get in,, then I was there 7 years fixing copiers & cash registers & calculators, fax machines, paper shredders, everything you see in an office, even electric staplers.
