What bothers me about this post is that some random person has decided he (she) has the right to deem a person worthy or unworthy. It's literally the phrasing on this stupid meme that makes me cringe not the stupidity of it.
Who has the authority to choose worth in another person? No one does. No one else gets to decide to that I'm unworthy because of anything let alone a simple fucking MISTAKE.
If I forget to put ketchup on my daughter's salad and she cries and pouts until I figure out what mistake I've made am I any less worthy than I was five minutes ago?
No. No one would ever say that a mistake means a person is unworthy.
So why is a McDonalds worker held to a higher standard?
Do you even know how busy of an hour they can have? 2000$ in McDonalds is a lot of fucking food. So this worker who has been doing hamburgers with ketchup all day for the entire four months he's been working here accidently forgets to NOT PUT KETCHUP on your burger and suddenly he's not worth anything? Really? Really?! That's your standard for worth huh?
What if it was his first day?
Do you go the entire day without making a
Single.
Solitary.
Mistake?
Not one single misstep? If so, fucking congrats to you; you might wanna think about presidency.
The money isn't the point. Minimum wage and people being unable to survive isn't the point. A single mother escaping an abusive husband who just needs one single job to live without being beaten everyday isn't the point. A college student also taking care of the family they didn't plan on isn't the point.
The point is that NO ONE gets to determine another person's worth; especially over something as stupid as ketchup on a fucking 1$ burger.
