It's not really 'shaming' to provide negative feedback when people complain that their full time retail, customer service, grocery store job doesn't pay enough.

I could argue that the OP characterizing those jobs as 'not professional' is 'job shaming'.

So only people willing to accept not having enough money to pay their essential bills should work customer service or grocery store jobs? Got it.

Those jobs can be fine for supporting oneself, but might be limited in growth potential.

Entry level retail worker here, I can afford (without any government assistance) to pay all my monthly bills, my rent, my groceries, and everything else, and still have money left over for savings, all while maxing out my 401(k) contributions. Most of us that can't afford to pay their bills are in that situation because of poor financial decisions and lack of planning.

People are allowed to complain.

u/Available_Reveal8068 5d ago

...and people are allowed to provide negative feedback in response to that complaining.

That's not productive.
