Yo, Shaniqua, I just did a craigslist search for you for cashier jobs in Bronx. On the first page alone there are there listings for cashier positions that start at$15 hr.

You're welcome.

I doubt the claimed $ 7.25 per hour. I believe McDonalds in NYC starts around $13.

I hope all the fast food places get Robots soon, to do the work.

Cashiers have to be able to handle simple arithmetic. Even if Shaniqua works the register and McDonalds, their machines use pictograms in place of numerals.

Taxis and cable TV. In a city with mass transit everywhere and dozens of channels of free broadcast TV? Go eff off, leech!

The machines do the math. And give change.

No, pedestrian cell phones are $19.99 unlocked now. The sista and her baby daddy are sporting the latest $700 iPhones with all the bells and whistles, you betcha.

Fair point, if no cash is involved.
