Checkout Lines
has anyone had
the misfortune
to be stuck in a Walmart
checkout line recently
have you noticed that most
of the cashiers are the
oldest and slowest
retirees the store can find
trying to bore us into
using the self-checkouts
force us to do the work
with no compensation
no discounts
avoid hiring and paying
living wages to those
forced by austerity policies
to work past retirement
for a minimal wage
while taxpayers fill in
the gaps with state
sponsored Medicaid
food stamps and other
programs so the
corporate leeches can
make ungodly profits

PS: It’s not just Walmart, becoming much more common in most grocery chains as well… Time for a general strike …
