That is REALLY interesting. I didn't know that the pay was pretty good for blue collar in the co. you worked for -- you're right, that would be better than floor retail or food.
I did have a cleaning service for a while, and it was a guy, to boot. He ran his own company and I knew him through friends. He mostly did people like me -- young people in a profession who worked long hours and were doing other things, in my case, it was school on top of work. But the stories he told me! And then I see all the digusting yuppy perfect pilates yoga SUV moms all day pushing their preciouses around in the 600 dollar strollers and they treat everyone like shit... I don't know, the disparity seems really pronounced to me. I've heard women talking about their clients on the bus... none of them seem like they like it much. But you're right, I can't judge it without having had the perspective myself.
I just... there's something incredibly classist and offensive in these ads. Maybe if there was some humor in it, or if it wasn't these uptight white snotty bitches, it might seem different.
