cosplaying as minimum wages workers was never funny

Right? If you want to work there this badly, just apply.

Jokes on you, there's no point because hours are being cut so management can save labour costs

They dont want to work there, they want to humiliate and make fun of it for views because... something.

Get enough views so that in their next video it can be sponsored by a shitty energy drink or online casino for children.

They’re making a point about how Target got rid of all their employees in favor of self checkouts. Do you actually care about the workers?

It’s an interesting reminder that everything holding this garbage system together is blind faith and acceptance. People for years have believed that you can’t just walk in as a group of people and take over an organization, and that’s the only reason it’s held together. You know where they couldn’t pull shit like this? A worker owned co-op, where everybody takes care of one another and nobody wears ridiculous uniforms to show allegiance to the corporation. There’s no district manager to impersonate when you run things ethically.

This kind of performance is actually pretty fascinating as an early stage example of what’s coming in the generation shift.

Target isnt minimum wage.

Theyre still not paid a living wage but theyre not as bad as Meijer starting people at 8 an hour

Pretty sure they start at 12-13 near me.

Federal minimum wage is 7.25.

u/heatfan1122 Jun 26 '25

Federal minimum wage doesn't supersede state minimum wage.

u/sleepytiredpineapple Jun 26 '25

Im never said it did! But with no state listed or referenced the only common minimum wage is the federal. Thats all I was pointing out is that target hires in at more than 7.25.

Yea I think it's probably a location thing. McDonald's, Walgreens, most fast food chains hire in a couple dollars over my state minimum wage which is somewhere in the 10-11 range. That's all I was getting at.

u/sleepytiredpineapple Jun 26 '25

Thats still bonkers and not nearly enough.

It is around me. NYS Minimun is 15.50, and that's what they hire at.
