I waited and I waited for help but all the rich people just stared at me and kept eating.

72. Sad to say, some people just don't care

I believe they're numb to caring. But they will find themselves in the same place as everyone else, soon enough.

The worst job I ever had was cleaning in a casino. I took the job because a friend told me it was 21.00 and hour. Except after I accepted the job, I was paid $7 something an hour. The $21.00 an hour what the owner of the cleaning service would have paid my friend, his nephew.

So, I had a time limit on exactly how long I had to clean the building. It was between closing and opening, about four hours. I busted my butt. The clean up made me afraid I might catch a disease, even though I wore latex gloves. The last straw was when the waitresses were not happy that the VERY terrible carpet that was sticky and held onto lint was not getting clean enough. I explained that the back pack vacuum I was using was not powerful enough to pull up the lint. I explained that the carpet was also part of the problem. They said, get it done. I told them that for $700 an hour, I was not going to kill myself.

They stood there in shock. They thought I was making WAY more. The cleaning service owner was charging the casino at least $43.00 an hour. Hmmm. The staff understood why I wasn't willing to give it more effort. I left that job soon after.
