#politics #wage gap #by the way I worked at ross dress for less and they told me girls couldn't do loss prevention because it didn't send the right image #only boys were promoted to loss prevention #loss prevention paid eleven bucks an hour instead of eight #us retail girls still had to cover all their breaks #at eight bucks an hour #some days I would cover literally hours of loss prevention breaks #at eight bucks an hour #fuck that shit
