White collar worker and executives: “Hurray, it’s labor day weekend! 3 full days off! We are so fortunate to live in a Great Country that Cares about it’s Workers!”

Service industry workers who know labor day weekend is one of the busiest 3 days of the year which means double or triple shifts and not seeing family all while being forced to be not only polite but cheerful:

While also knowing that Labor Day was intended as a holiday for them and they still have to put up with this shit

As a retail worker. I feel this. My company does acknowledge, & compensates me extra for today which is neat but some won’t.

Today is the day when I will tip double or whatever I can afford to. If I take a cab or grab a coffee, I’m tipping twice what I should if not more. If it’s within your budget, I encourage you to as well.

And if not, it’s okay. Be polite, quick, and courteous. You don’t need to strike up a conversation with me about how shitty it is that I’m working today, I know I’m working. I don’t need a reminder.

Thanks, loves. 💜💜💜
