Nickel-and-Dimed

This essay reminded me a lot of my old job at a Giant. I remembered looked around at some of the people that worked there. Many of them were much older then me and had kids. I remember thinking about how I made more money then they did. I have no idea how they could afford to work at a Giant. The other thing was a lot of them had drug problems. I was told so many stories about how much they would spend. Seeing people like that made me never want to end up working at Giant forever. I wish she would have talked about how she felt about where she was living. I really don't think she found much out about how it is to live on $7 an hour. All she basically told us is that it sucks and that its almost impossible. Everyone already knows that. When she mentioned there possibly being some trick to live of that much money I interested, but she never did find out what the trick is.
