Why does any of that mean they don't deserve a job? Do you think they deserve to starve because you disapprove of them?
Let me put it this way.
Some people just don't deserve a job. They are trash of their own making. They don't want to work, and any money they make goes to drugs, booze, or porn. You know these people are out there. In Oregon we have a law that creates jobs for them. In other states they don't get a job because they haven't earned one.
No, not every single person that works at a gas station is this way. Too many are. We don't need a law to create jobs for these people, I don't feel sorry for them. Why don't we make it illegal to do your own grocery shopping too, I'm sure there are more losers that need jobs created for them. Or maybe it should be illegal to wash your car?
I'm picking on the gas station attendants because they are forced upon me by law, and the local gas stations don't seem to do a very good job of screening employees. I know there are a lot of qualified hard working people out there that don't have jobs, but most of them wouldn't even apply for this job if they were starving. This law creates a really bad poor quality low paying job doing a service we don't really even need.
I've learned living my entire life in Oregon, that in general, you can't trust a gas pump attendant to do anything correctly. Sorry if that gives a bad name to a few good attendants. If I get out and do it myself I am breaking the law.
