    Uh, nope. Janitors, especially in places like Hospitals are not making min wage. Not by a long shot. They need to be the best at what they do, so the best get paid accordingly because that's how meritocracy works.

    Do you look so low on janitors that you think they are really min wage workers? The average for a hospital Janitor is $17/hr.

    Not really about saying thank you. If you want to say thank you, say it to their face in the store. Doing it on a forum is self aggrandizing.

    Maybe during these times, sure. That's probably why Kroger and walmart is hiring people with higher wages during this time.

    I am contradicting you saying that These "Trumpers" aren't appreciative of those folks, you are changing their meaning of their posts.

    Sure you do. I don't know you personally so I am not calling you a liar about doing it in person. Doing it in a thread on a forum to a couple dozen posters doesn't mean jack and shows your virtue signaling to us.

    Truckers make upwards of 80k a year RNs depending on specialty as much or more doctors generally six figures, a lot of those people aren't low wage. Does the fact that they aren't low wage make them any less worthy of thanks and praise?

    The rich people still own the stores that are open and these hardworking folks are working at.

    This isn't a class envy thing...not sure why the left always has to turn things in to division politics

    I wouldn't include the long-haul truckers in the "unskilled" category. Doing that job well requires serious training and experience.

    Thanking folks who are getting us through this at their own risk is NOT "division politics".

    YOUR comments are.

    SHAME on you.

    Just say Thank You

    It's not hard...and MEAN IT

    I didn't say it was...maybe you should read the post I was responding to, instead of your knee jerk response?

    I've only been out twice in the last two weeks and each time I make a point of thanking all those who are working. They don't do it for the thanks...and that's a big reason I thank them.

    It was the lefty Dems that called these people “deplorables”
    And it was the lefty Dems shooting the cops and terrorizing the old folks with ANTIFA

    I'm one of the people working now, and I think just the fact that I'm still collecting a paycheck is thanks enough. With so many people facing the prospect of serious economic hardship, having a steady job seems like more of a privilege now than any kind of heroism.
