Pay Discrepancy

This morning while snooping around in the office I discovered that the dish pig gets paid more than me.
I closed the cafe while I wrote a very angry letter to Management, reminding them that I am what's considered Skilled Labour. I had to do a three day course to learn how to use the Gaggia, where as the dishie just has to press a button on his machine. I rushed down the road to Kinko's (where I have an account) and made several copies which will be distributed to the appropriate media outlets.
I returned to the cafe to find someone from Fair Trade spruiking ethically sourced coffee beans to the wait staff. I offered him forty dollars for the Fair Trade sticker, which I have put on the front door. Now next time some well meaning hippie asks for Fair Trade I can charge them an extra four dollars for their soy latte.
