Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that during college my sister and I worked a certain job at Vida, in the warehouse, and the system was that we were paid on a piecework basis, so that the faster we worked the larger our paycheck would be. So we organized ourselves to work as efficiently as possible in order to make our paychecks as large as possible within that system. And then David worked with us for two weeks, and there was really no great advantage for us to have a third person to split the paycheck with, and then he sort mocked us and said that he thought it was ridiculous that we worked so hard for such little money, because why should he care, he is a rich kid with probably millions of dollars in his private bank account. He or his dad would mutter something about the system needing to be fixed because he doubtless would prefer making us work just as hard while not having to pay us a dime. That would be a system of advantage for them, but of course from my point of view that would stink.
