Back when I was 16, I had a job sacking groceries at the Buy For Less on Northwest Expressway and Council. It was a shitty summer job and I was a shitty sacker, but it had its perks. For example, I got paid $5 an hour, which was 85-cents more than the minimum wage, and 60-cents more than what my friend Isaac made at Albertsons doing the same thing. Plus, an 18-year-old pregnant cashier would sell beer and wine coolers to me and my friends if we gave her $10. That got me some serious street cred in my high school clique. I was like Morgan Freeman in Shawshank. I was the kid who could get things.
Anyway, Buy For Less recently announced they are raising their minimum wage to $9 an hour. Of course, the Oklahoman sent poor little pickelo Jennifer Palmer to investigate.
