    Tell me you’ve never had to clean blood of the walls of a stall in a toilet at your minimum wage retail job without telling me you’ve never had to clean blood off the wall of a stall in the toilet at your minimum wage retail job.

    I have. I did it and if things go well, I’ll be hired and it will be part of my job.

    I’ve cleaned blood, piss, shit, vomit, cum. It wasn’t pleasant. It won’t be pleasant when I have to do it for minimum wage again.

    I’m a broke bastard. I like being able to take a shit like any human being. Human beings should be able to take a shit without expecting to pay markups on concessions and things.

    Why do we put a price on the human need of removing waste? The workers are already paid. The toilets are used no matter who uses them. The things must be cleaned already.
