A coffee shop owner took aim at ‘pay chasers’ and got entirely the responses they deserved

Poke Staff. Updated November 26th, 2021

The latest in a long line of less than ideal employers we’ve featured on these pages is this coffee shop owner who felt compelled to ask for help after he was struggling to attract staff.

See if you can spot why that might be.

The rant went viral after it was shared by kaenorr over on Reddit and it got entirely the responses you’d hope it would.

“It’s like they know we need help and demand high pay and benefits.” Yes.’

“These people keep showing up saying they want to work, FOR MONEY??? Can you BELIEVE the nerve of these poors?”

‘People really don’t understand just how crappy it is to have to deal with the general public anymore. There isn’t a day that goes by where someone doesn’t scream at you for something that is 100% not your fault or out of your control. It just isn’t worth your dignity to show up for jobs like this anymore.’

‘Wonder if we’ll ever get a job posting that reads “We only pay 12 an hour, but you can tell up to 3 customers a shift to go f*ck themselves with no penalty.”

‘Ah yes pay chasers, chasing that incredibly generous starvation wage.’

‘Aww, did someone’s business model rely on slave labor?’
