>>152648This literally sounds like what happened to me when I tried to look for a dogshit un-unionized service sector job from 2008-2013. And then the first place that even
responded to my applications was a strip club, and then the first strip club to hire me was actively committing wage theft. And then I left that, eventually, and it took me another year of beating the pavement to get another job, a retail store where I worked 10 hour floor shifts and made $8 per hour, which at least was above the minimum wage here, but then they fired me at about 3 months so they wouldn't have to pay unemployment if I left.
