Maybe something similar goes on on in the infinitely more congenial
milieu of the low-wage American workplace" (last paragraph).

(Paragraph 15). She has to use her emergency and saved funds solely to live somewhere, which is empty and small. She can barely afford to survive, if she were to get sick she would be done for. ]]> 2020-10-08 18:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/20541331/7r0pub2eewzvvapi/wish/814914297 Sub Point 1 (Unfair Pay) 20537201 https://padlet.com/20541331/7r0pub2eewzvvapi/wish/814919510 There is little money involved in the typical American workplace and the employees are very annoyed about it. In paragraph 11,  Nina sarcastically asks, "have we started making money yet"(11)? This quote references the very unfair working environments in a place like Jerrys., and how the employees think about it. There personality is almost formed around how they have to work everyday. ]]> 2020-10-08 18:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/20541331/7r0pub2eewzvvapi/wish/814919510 Sub Point 4(Dangerous environment) 20541331 https://padlet.com/20541331/7r0pub2eewzvvapi/wish/814932465 In Paragraph 9, she mentions employees "trying to inhale the propellent gas from the squirt cans in the hope that it may be nitrous oxide", as well as multiple occasions of "harassment". The workplace and employees are dangerous and unpredictable, often "feeling sick or overwhelmed" (paragraph 11).]]> 2020-10-08 18:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/20541331/7r0pub2eewzvvapi/wish/814932465 Sub Point 3(Bad Interactions) 20537201 https://padlet.com/20541331/7r0pub2eewzvvapi/wish/814961350 In the restaurant business, especially at a place like Jerrys, the interactions can often be toxic or annoying. Barbara, states in paragraph 10 that often times the customers are the “major obstacle” (10). In a place where you have to interact with costumers every day, this sort of vibe is not one you have to deal with. When the costumers are a problem, the interaction between costumer and server becomes bad an not fun for either person.]]> 2020-10-08 18:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/20541331/7r0pub2eewzvvapi/wish/814961350
