Today it’s Labor Day here in Italy. Best wishes to those who have a job, to those who are looking for one, to those who will have one and, especially, to those who are underpaid (who are mostly young).
From Not Always Right: If Minimum Wage Was Inflated, We’d Care More
A customer orders a small Coke and six chicken nuggets at the order window. I say the total, and she calmly but sternly asks me:
Customer: “Can you tell me why it’s that much?”
Me: “That’s a small Coke and six nuggets, right? If so, that’s [total].”
Customer: “Yes, that is what I ordered, but can you tell me why it’s that much?”
What the f*** am I supposed to say to that? I just default to:
Me: “Ah, you know, inflation, am I right?”
Customer: “But can you tell me why inflation has caused it to be that much?”
Me: “Ah, well, I just sell the food. I’m not really an economist.”
Customer: “Hmm… disappointing.”
She paid and drove off, leaving me to wonder why she thought a minimum-wage sixteen-year-old would understand the economic factors that result in the price of a small Coke and six chicken nuggets.
Huh, being able to rely on others is a talent I would have assigned to the blonde girl. I’m just getting to know the characters. I’m always happy to see new talented artists publishing on gocomics. I hope Wannabe is here to stay. ☺️

It’s true, slinking away on your phone while others do stuff for you is a real feat.

“Being able to rely on other’s is a talent.”
No Margo, it’s more of a grift.

It’s something we’re all born with and eventually grow out of, some much sooner than others.

I’ve got the impression that Margot is not happy about this.

Something’s percolating. Give her time, I’m sure she’ll more than make up for it!

Margot’s just going through some difficulties right now. It’ll pass.
