What is wrong with this country? Here is one thing that I thing permeates through out a certain culture.
I went to Hibdons Tires this morning to get a flat fixed on my pickup. It is an almost new tire and I managed to pickup a nail. I was in line behind one pickup getting two new tires on the front. They pulled that pickup in just as I sat down in the waiting room, and I watched some big, fat, white millenial, turquoise colored hair guy screw around with that truck for a solid hour before they could even begin on mine.
I timed the actual machine time involved on my watch. From when the wheel and tire hits the changer to when a new tire is on the wheel and it is aired up. 3 minutes to remove a tire from the rim, spin the new one on and air it up. And that is with the guy moving slow. One minute on the balance machine. That adds up to 8 minutes of machine time. The other 52 minutes were the guy moping around, dragging air hose around, finding two new tires, rolling them from place to place, staring outside at who who knows what, and drinking water. Did I mention walking slow and moping around. You would have to set stakes in the ground to see this guy move.
Now I get it, he is doing it for minimum wage. Can we think of a single reason to pay this moron $15 per hour? I'm to the point I would rather Biden send him some groceries every month and give him an internet connection and let him sit on his butt all day at home and stay the heck out of society. Not really.
But in all seriousness.... who in their right mind would pay this guy $15 per hour to do anything?
The bleeding heart liberals in this country rant on and on about inequity. Inequality. How unfair our society is. While I realize God loves this big fat tire changer, it is not my fault if he lives in poverty.
That is even beyond the concept of taking money directly from people who produce the wealth of a nation and give to people who do not wish to work.
And no matter what, it will never be enough. It never is.
Even if someone is making $30 an hour, they will bitch because they can’t buy the same expensive house, car, or smartphone someone who makes $50 an hour would buy.
Looks like she knows what she is doing to me..
Never confuse this scenario with capitalism.
More likely she would be stuck in the dark
Oh, come on! Admit you just took that off a calendar in the garage

And it would be okay if you did it several more times. I’m okay with that. Please
You could never work for me and if I made the mistake of hiring you, you would not last long before being offered the opportunity to be happy somewhere else.
What is the longest time you have ever held a job?
LOL, me too.
A lot of people say I might look somewhat tolerable in the dark.
good Point
Same, same at the Discount Tire in Arvada, CO I buy tires from...The manager Juan sees to it every customer gets his personal attention even if it’s just “are you happy with our products and service?”...
They have a great business plan and stick to it, and they hustle! Oh, and did I mention great prices on name brand tires? I won’t buy a tire elsewhere if I can help it...
20 years.
