And I'm not looking to pick a fight with anyone but it is very infuriating when you bust your butt and try and do a good job and you are not paid a halfway decent salary. Been there. Not fun and as far as looking for a higher paid better living wage job, the job market is terrible especially with our current economy.

Again, not looking to point the finger at anyone and it is a little more complicated than that, I just want someone with expertise/knowledge to chime in on this.

I can already see the lines to get deli or check out at Jo-Jos. What can I say? The White People struggle can be real.

Please enlighten me to what the "White People struggle" is? Is that some kind of Boston suburb elitist slang?

It's not just around the Lakes Region, it's everywhere. The economy in the country is great and there are more jobs than people wanting to work.

No - oh you haven't heard? Yeah this is a new term coined by the fraternity of the passive aggressive and mentally deranged. They don't want to pick a fight though...… so they are relatively harmless while exhibiting their clueless nature.

Back in the real world things are great!

Its a joke kind of thing. Like, "Oh I had to wait in line at Starbucks for my drink. It took soo long! Like 5 minutes!" etc. Stupid complaints but since we're talking about delicious subs here, I can't pretend that it doesn't affect me on a deep, emotional level.
