Yes , those younger folk just shouldn't have to do the jobs they're paid for.
Lots of whiney snow flakes out there.

but in reality, no the kids making minimum wage dont really care and probably shouldnt to be honest. Lotta cranky boomers out there

you cant expect someone to care at poverty wages. On top of that, if the commission structure is still the same its not worth it to care. Great job though for getting discounts on gear and meeting musicians.

Nice try.

Minimum wage is only a “poverty wage” when people live beyond their means.

Agreed. I don't mind not getting 10-15% off because all my experiences both pre and post buying have been excellent.

I purchased two Keeley pedals from them. One was squealing no matter where I put it in the chain. I explained the situation and my sales guy asked if I wanted to return it or speak to tech support. I went ahead and returned it and he even reviewed pictures I had taken of my packing to ensure I wouldn't be charged a package and handling return fee.

That said, I wouldn't mind them offering a 5% discount once in a blue moon, but I get that they don't discount because they try to do everything else right for both the customers and their team members.

They do discount, you just have have to ask. I just ask my rep, "what is you price for x, y and z" and it's always between 10 and 20% off. My BB434 was $429.99 (listed price $499.99).

Yeah this isn’t true at all

Yes if their means consists of not stating a family, eating ramen noodles, never going out, sharing a crappy apartment with 4 other people, and being one medical emergency away from complete and total financial ruin, sure... at least in the northeast you absolutely cannot sustain a family with 2 minimum wage salaries.

Get a real job.

Like one that pays enough to care

I earn 6 figures. Get a sense of basic human compassion.

Get a real job and depend on yourself.

You should share more money with the less fortunate

Do you want to see my tax return including an itemized list of charitable donations or would you prefer to proceed directly to deleting your account?

 

[bobdabilder]

It's a starting wage. Foot in the door wage.

If you have a family and are making minimum wage, you have made some very poor life decisions.
