You was not lying in your other video about not giving these companies two weeks notice because they have no loyalty to us. I got let go from my job and they did not give me a two weeks notice they just kicked me to the curb after i gave them my all. Unbelievable... Thank you Terry for your videos you are the only one who says the TRUTH.

Fyi...years ago, i was a lumper for a co. contracted by us foods. Low pay, hard physical labor and always short handed. Us foods didnt touch anything until pallets were broke down and no, they were not in a hurry. If you were charged a lumper fee of 500(for ex.), i got maybe 50 of that. The rest went to lumping co. And most went to us foods

@@tomtomallo514 Oh, I’m sure. I think it’s exploitation in spades. Crapstain is owned by a shitty private equity outfit based in Miami and these grocers are too crappy to pay employees a fair wage and benefits. They make Walmart look like Mother Teresa.

Unfortunately, it’s very common to see. a lifestyle that people can barely afford. Not scaling back enough.. I got a buddy who lives like this. He’s 48 with maxed out credit cards, but doesn’t even have five or 10 grand off to the side in case for emergencies..
