It all fine and dandy for the single guys making 65K+ a year and all, but what about students? People on minimum wage? Single mothers/fathers? etc...
I was talking to a kid at the Candian tire when I was there last night getting one of the Justy's tires patched up. The kid is the son of my landlord and I didnt even knew he got a job as a oil monkey there....
Anyways, he started 2 weeks ago, and hes already thinking of quitting.
"My paycheque is $150 (he works part time, wed, sat, sun), 1/2 of that goes to gas, the other half I pay my half of the insurance on my car (his dad pays the other half), the whole point of me getting a job was to be independant, buy things for myself, supe up my car a little, buy christmas gifts....you know....things you'd do with your own money that you worked hard for, but its costing me more to drive to work than it is to just stay home. Its retarded. "
Are all these students & minimum wage people going to have to work 2 jobs to put gas in there cars? I hope not, thats just crazy.
