those stories are trotted out all of the time.

and when i hear them i think of the person's coworkers. there are relatively few managerial positions in any given entity. not everyone who works carts and/or fries can be promoted to a managerial position. somebody's gonna have to work carts and/or fries. the ppl who don't 'move on up' still exist. they don't vanish. they don't/can't all get jobs elsewhere. some are gonna stay there working carts/fries.

we need to deal w/them. b/c they're part of us.

i'd like to see conditions improve for them where they are. i don't think keeping conditions hard at the fries/carts level will necessarily inspire everyone who works fries/carts to 'move on up'. some ppl just don't have that drive. or they have other priorities. or they have issues beyond their immediate control that prevent their 'movement'. and yet they exist. and we need to deal w/them.
