I like how "wage slave" basically blames Kroger for the state of his/her life.
You had to have known that Kroger doesn't hire for full time nor do they start out hire than minimum. If you didn't figure that out on day one, than certainly within the first six months. You have had plenty of opportunities to find something more suited to your lifestyle before the last four years passed.
To the rest of you who think it's funny to demean your employer in front of the person funding your paycheck (customers), don't show up for your next shift. We don't need you. It actually just makes you look like an a-hole to those people. Walmart will be more than happy to hire your kind.
