With all due respect to retail workers, I can’t imagine the chaos and bullshit UPMC workers (or any healthcare workers for that matter) have to deal with on a constant basis is worth a minor pay increase over stocking shelves and bagging groceries…and I know first hand working retail is hell.

$10/hr and $14-$18/hr are both crap salaries. Neither of those is enough to sustain a person anymore, hasn't been for a long time. You can have suffered bad wages and still recognize other people suffering bad wages. We're in this together.

My last boyfriend used to beat me and cheat on me, but my current boyfriend only cheats on me so he’s a great guy.

This is what you sound like with that garbage.

You are correct that $18/hr is objectively better than $10/hr.

You are, however, not correct that it’s good money. Until recent history, people could support a family on a grocery store cashiers wages. Now, without your mother, or if you had no family then 3 other roommates in a shit apartment, you couldn’t support yourself on those wages. Never mind a family.
