    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.

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

      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.
