Home depot is the most depressing of hardware stores. I wouldn’t want to work there even if what this fake ass post says is true.

Also $17/hr is shit pay. You can’t even rent an apartment at $17/hr.

Depends on your area.

Edit: working a full 40hr/wk at $17/hr can afford rent up to ~$880/mo.

$880 is how much people pay for a bedroom in someones else’s house in my city.

*This is mostly because the zoning laws require all new apartment complexes to have one parking space per tenant which means land owners who want to develop their land to provide more density have to put in an underground parking garage on their lot which would make recouping the cost of development pretty much impossible (there’s no room for surface lots). My city is almost entirely zoned this way which creates situations where the university is fully surrounded by single family homes that are “renovated” to provide jury rigged density.

Not all entry-level jobs start you at a “living wage.” When I was in middle school, delivering newspapers, I didn’t make enough to rent an apartment either. In college, I had roommates because none of us earned enough to rent a place by ourselves. So climb off your arrogant and ignorant high-horse.

Also, for the lazy ass dude who started this, work hard and don’t be a leach. If you think you can do better than where you are now, move on to that place and stop gaslighting everyone.
