Hi eastbay,

Would you at least concede that someone who is performing a job which society deems "essential" ought to be able to live on the income from that job?

Grocery checkout clerks are no longer essential, with automated check out aisles. Even if they were not replaceable by machines that doesnt entitle them to a "living wage" for that level of work. The job can easily be filled by second income earners, retirees, students, etc. who do not require a "living wage" to support their families.
