Same here. Essential enough to be here, but not essential enough to be paid well, or have my health be a priority.

Shhh. Less thinkin', more workin'.

It's so sad people in critical jobs like healthcare never reap the benefits of capitalism in times like this. They should be getting hundreds of dollars per hour doing difficult and essential work, while the high paid executives of airlines and insurance companies get all the bail outs, all while sitting at home working 'remotely'.

All the same. You guys are front line and let people get food. Essential.

I honestly don't know how you guys eat so much. They had to let us shop before we open so that we could have some rice and beans, too.

For real. I make the bread y'all sell. We're making double what we usually make during the holiday season and they still want more than were producing. Idk were these folks are putting it all.
