Okay, if you can explain to me in detail how four dimensional topology is going to be important to me while I'm stocking the shelves of your grocery store, I'll give you an answer.

Listen, once you get the job, you'll discover the truth about those shelves. And all I'm saying is, it becomes relevant that you can find your way through four dimensional space. Okay?

They got the shelves from an old university library, the librarian who sold the shelves was an orangutan.

stocking the shelves of your grocery store

See that's what's so ragebaity about the post. There's no mention of what the job was, which means people can just make up whatever bit of background allows them to feel the most superior.

It has a pay rate that is less than a living wage in many places. In fact, any job that could justify such a question could would be salaried. So it couldn't even be described with an hourly rate.

in many places
