Low wage, high security

I think the constant surveillance of low wage workers and the skepticism that follows their actions is a larger reflection of the belief associated with being in a lower class. It seems as though there is an assumption that minimum age workers are more likely to steal and wreck havoc in the work place. This manifests itself in the work place when freedoms like bathrooms breaks, standing around for two seconds, talking to other co-workers are restricted if granted at all. It reminds me of the School To Prison Pipeline where students feel as though they are entering a jail more than they are entering an learning environment.

    I also don’t think she helps with getting rid of those type of stereotypes when she makes comments about being entertained by multicultural street life. Its interesting to see a person who is trying to understand a lifestyle make fun of it.
