Yes
argument: a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true.
Your post is an argument and, I was describe the evidence of what is sadly true: that even people how make $14/hr these days seem to have a total lack of pride in the task(s) their job requires.
Not saying that *you* tolerate this, by the way, just mocking that we have to even acknowledge this laziness exists in the American worker.
I remember making $2/hr and I still had pride in my job. And, I make (thankfully) much more than that now, but I’m pretty sure that came to pass because of having pride in my job/work.
I said maybe, never offered as evidence that something was true.
I travel a lot, believe me, it isn’t just America. Although, in rural Japan and outside of Tokyo or Osaka, I haven’t seen it, even in 7-11s.
