Seems like thereβs this phenomenon where stores, mostly larger corporations in food, pharmacies, or other industries are increasingly understaffed to the point where it feels almost deliberate? I wonder if itβs due to the fact that these stores barely or maybe donβt pay a living wage so less people want to work for them. Or if itβs more so CEOβs pressuring store managers to deliberately understaff their stores to save/increase profits. Maybe both? Either way, every time I go into one of these places thereβs usually a long line of customers waiting to be checked out by a single cashier who looks miserable. I feel so bad for them because the added stress of being the only person in charge of the counter really changes the work environment and the employeeβs overall health and productivity being slammed like that. Just some thoughts on a rather mundane but very real dystopian phenomenon caused by late-stage capitalism? Anyone else have any thoughts or observations about this?
