Do you agree with your parents about everything? Some people probably do and other people don’t.

In this story, one person shares that he doesn’t agree with his dad about very many things. For example, they don’t see eye to eye on politics.

However, it sounds like they haven’t let this come between them or hurt their relationship because they just shared a bonding moment over a completely different situation.

Keep reading for the whole story.

My Very Conservative Dad and the Antiwork Movement

For context, my dad is close to retirement age (we’ll see if he can actually retire) and he is a CNC machinist in a small town.

He is very conservative politically and we do not agree on most things in that arena.

Dad shared a story about where he worked.

I saw my folks this weekend and my dad and I were talking. He excitedly asked me if I heard what happened at the Dollar General in the town where he works.

I said I didn’t and he told me their entire staff walked out due to overwork and under payment!

I said “GOOD!” and raised a fist in solidarity and was laughing along with him.

Here’s why they walked out.

He explained that they got all the shipments from the backorders during the pandemic, and now there is a ton of inventory at the store. So much that it is just stacked on pallets in the aisles because they don’t have enough workers!

And the workers they do have aren’t paid enough, so they just left.

Amazing story. Forget Dollar General as well.

This was a bonding moment.

It feels good that I can still connect with my dad on worker’s rights, because it is a thing we can ALL get on board with.

I hope there are others who have been able to connect in this was, although I know a lot of our parents really love defending billionaires.

When you don’t agree with your parents about a lot of things, it can be good to find something you agree on.

Let’s see how Reddit responded.

This person rants about retail.

Another person is jealous of his connection with his dad.

This is true.

But this person thinks his dad is a really bad manager.

Apparently, not everyone agrees with their dad about worker’s rights. While OP and his dad don’t agree about much, it’s great that they have something in common.

It’s good they haven’t let their differences come between them.
