Inflation Is A Bitch - Tumblr Posts

this is probably a frothing hot take but if you, as a minimum wage employee, get pissed about recreational shoplifters (i.e.: people not stealing for survival) because you think that shoplifting has any impact on your wage or job security

guess what! it's actually the corporation you work for that is threatening you. if they tell you wages are low because people are stealing, not only are they lying to you, the only reason they're telling you that is to make clear to you how precarious your employment is and how they see you as financially interchangeable to a tube of lipgloss. if your employer in any way telegraphs to you, explicitly or implicitly, that your livelihood is somehow tied to someone stealing something, this is a direct attempt to make you feel powerless, small and disposable
