This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That isn't allowed in the US,. At least for now.
Yeah I worked in a grocery store making minimum wage about ten years ago. They paid employees as little as they could without breaking the law. During the pre-hire training session they were transparent that they were legally required to pay us for it. It wasn't even normal work duties, just going through an online test.
WYM in-house maids/groundskeepers used to be paid a salary even when they lived on the land, but nowadays they call it "work trade" so you end up doing both of those things just to keep a roof over your head and zero money in your hand for all those days lost keeping their home spic-n-span, even controlling your ability to have visitors at your work-trade Lord's-land bc they ain't just landlords anymore at that point. Actual slavery without the whips and torture.
Are unpaid internships still a thing? I haven't heard of them in quite a while.
Unpaid internships are only allowed IF they get college credits. Otherwise it’s illegal, but of course that doesn’t stop people
