Some people just look right through those who serve them every day, not seeing them because they’re always there. Imagine if we had to prepare and serve all of our own food and coffee, do all our own dishes, answer our own questions while shopping, even (gasp!) wash our own cars. Look at how long it took most of us to adjust to pumping our own gas. Also, imagine if we all had to go to work every day to earn and try to live in this valley on current minimum wage–or even the proposed $15/hour. Not a pretty sight.

There were quite a few comments regarding this posting; more comments than there were likes. For me this was the last straw, and I unfriended the person who’d posted similar articles ranting against the minimum wage increase.
