    I’m just hearing the term “wagies” for the first time, and I don’t like it. Workers who deal with obnoxious customers like Anon deserve common courtesy, not a demeaning nickname.

        I guess it’s like racism and other forms of bigotry. Creating a reason to look down on others (even when, deep down, you know it’s bullshit) helps you feel less awful about your own pathetic self.

      On chans a lot of people aspire to live a neet life (not in education employment or trainin) and thus there is a dynamic where “based neet chads” look down on and mock the wagies that are forced to work.

      Its a safe bet anyone using the term unironically is likely a complete goblin with no life.

      it’s a term used by privileged children raised like veal, you can safely discard the opinions of anyone saying it

          On the assumption you are just wayyy out of the loop rather than trolling, the tv show you’ll want to google is severance. It can be pirated wherever you get your shows.
