All work requires a degree of skill and time, people just don’t respect that at all, have to know what you’re doing even at the most deceptively simple ‘unskilled job’ how to hold a shovel so you don’t get hurt or use the OS of a register. It still takes like 6 months for a supposed ‘unskilled laborer’ to become fully efficient at their position, it may not be the years of a skilled tradesman or similar, but thats something to consider that so few do.
Anyway, is just daily/weekly life in retail or anything public when something goes mildly wrong (even if just in their heads) to an asshole customer. ‘This is why I went to college’, sweet summer child, if you only knew, or parents warning their kids to go to college so they don’t end up like me (LOL). This is a system where you can do everything ‘right’, have whatever paper qualifications and still end up in a ‘low-skilled’ job, moreso the more minorities you are. Anyway, more minorities you are and less people believe you, a situation I will always find myself in personally.
Anyway, I don’t feel too bad when I hear the phrase since I shadowed a doctor getting told that quite a bit by boomers as part as an internship I had to do, its more about being a classist supremacist asshole than anything else.
For real, and even if the skills required for a job are easy to obtain and easy to retain, that job is still providing value to the community, like say a garbage collector, not the most complex skills required to do it, yet people are glad their trash get taken out every day and without him and their ‘unskilled’ job, people would be pissed off and their quality of life reduced,
So yeah, everyone should respect those jobs a little more, and be fucking polite to ‘low skilled’ workers when they interact with them
