response to nickel and dime and the cocktail waitress

the other essays we read to me were boring... i believe these two essays were much more interesting because the people are actually experiencing low wage jobs and how it is to not have much... i can completely relate to this... i remember my mom having 2 or 3 jobs just to get by to pay the bills and put food on the table... yes it was hard but if you need to do things to survive... i cant complain so much now... yes we do struggle but its not as bad before... people need to learn not to take things for granted because anything can be taken away from you... just be grateful of what you have...
