| > Yes, I find it surprising. Seems to not compute. “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” I have to guess that you're slave to the money, I'm not. I really don't care about them , as long my life is not in danger. > This is poverty wages LOL American, right? Average salaries in Europe are not much higher than that Italy: €1.740 Spain: €1.800 Portugal: €1.1160 UK: €2.200 And these numbers are after taxes (which are quite high for US standards here, but also they really are not if you wanna define yourself a decent developed Country). So the employer is spending almost 2x, which is not bad per se if you ask me, but that's still something to consider. > . The waiter would find time to go to the beach around his work schedule if he was properly compensated. Restaurants are closed usually at least one day/week and 2-3 weeks off-season (it depends on the geography for some it's August for others it's fall/winter). It's just that most of them close during the week and people want to go to the beach with friends and/or family on weekends. But then again, you don't complain that there is no job if you don't want to do any job you're cut for and are not qualified for well paid, highly skilled jobs. Please, if you wanna discuss things, can you at least learn the bare minimum to actually have a conversation that is not entirely based on your prejudices and stereotypes? |
