(126,686 posts)and white collar jobs. I know since I've worked both type of jobs. I also worked in the food service industry, so I do have the experience to offer an opinion.
I never worked in the auto industry, but I did take care of my own mechanical work on my vehicles until I moved into an apartment complex and the lease agreement prohibited extensive mechanical work in their parking lot. So while I wasn't paid, I do understand the difficulty of turning a wrench in hot and cramped conditions.
As far as your comments are concerned, it sure reads like you don't think that food service workers are real workers. The facts are that most food service workers are on their feet throughout their entire shifts and the working conditions are not any better than those found in a warehouse. It also seems like your statement is an attack on white collar workers. So if you are going to condemn someone for being disrespectful to certain groups of workers, make sure that look in the mirror while you do so.
I realize that you may not have liked my comment and I shouldn't have drawn generalizations about a specific group of workers, but I was responding to the OP and the woman mentioned in it. However, I didn't specifically say that you were lazy or make a personal attack against you like you did with the response of "your full of crap." I expressed my disagreement with your statement which is my right, just like you have the right to disagree with me. However, you don't have the right to personally attack me without expecting me to defend myself or my opinion.
