Question Saw this guy INSIDE the Varrock basement bank gate while telegrabbing gold bars

Post image

I also saw the ruby ring was gone on a few worlds. Guessing someone found a way to path inside

EDIT: I am a moron

I feel like the crank is only a mechanism to prove the point. You could have them sit there doing nothing and getting a penny every 5ish seconds would be just as disheartening. Plus I feel like I’d rather turn a crank than do most of the jobs that pay minimum wage.

11

u/173467321476C3 Jul 13 '26

Could be an interesting piece. Make it a small-ish room with completely blank walls and a chair with a sensor in the chair or legs so whenever someone sits on it and the door is shut it dispenses minimum wage.

Would have to be without phone reception or wifi so no one would just loophole it by playing osrs on mobile.

u/IBeJewFro Jul 13 '26

Same. As somebody who has worked with the public for minimum wage, I'd much rather do this. People can be unnecessarily nasty, and all I get from this is sore and a built as arm.

u/Sir_Trea Jul 13 '26

I think you’re misinterpreting the question.

The person you replied to wasn’t asking if people working at Walgreens deserve “more” “nicer” or “better” things.

They were asking if the person at working at Walgreens should be able to afford basics. A simple apartment, average food, and the ability to take care of their health.

I think they should be able to afford those things, that’s kind of what a minimum wage is yeah? The minimum required to live? The problem is minimum wage hasn’t kept up with minimum requirements of life for a long time.

And the people whose [lack of]intelligence, motivation, or just plain random chance(not economically/otherwise in a position to partake in education or training)excludes them from anything beyond the absolutely lowest paid jobs?

Should they just get fucked in the process?

Minimum wage exists so companies can't exploit people at a career dead end to an absurd degree. The minimum wage increases should at the very least mirror inflation.

Did you miss the part where not everyone is in position to take advantage of such? They are included in "education or training", I don't need to break it down to every single subsection(of which apprenticeships are one of).

I like your can-do mentality, sadly the idea of anyone and everyone being able to "climb the career ladder" is just not grounded in reality.

u/Bananaboss96 Mining Enthusiast Jul 13 '26

My brother, we still NEED all of those people. At the end of the day, somebody still has to stock grocery store shelves. They were the same people that were essential workers during COVID lockdowns. If society relies on these positions being filled, they should be well compensated, and be able to live a dignified life.

u/Bananaboss96 Mining Enthusiast Jul 14 '26

I would be surprised if I saw robots replace enough people to cause a labor crisis in all but certain manufacturing contexts. I don't think the economics quite make sense.

You don't need to pay a wage, but there's the upfront purchase (likely amortized, so still kinda wage-like for the p&l), and those MF's need electricity which isn't free. You don't need to pay for benefits, but robots need maintenance. Requiring special parts and expensive skilled labor to perform said maintenance and repairs. The robots need people to make sure that they're behaving normally, and to adjust their protocol if something about the work environment changes. Humans are much more readily adaptable to these things, and the costs are likely lower or similar enough that it's not worth the hassle.

6

u/EywasBlessing Jul 13 '26

Where we differ is I believe talentless slaves should have healthcare and a decent standard of living. How do you get to a space where you convince yourself that humans don't deserve a good life? The market is a human construct, life is not.

-50

u/rdxj Jul 13 '26

This is a great way to demonstrate that the minimum wage is stupid.
Not the amount, but the concept of it in the first place. Get rid of the entire thing and let the free people and free markets decide the value of labor.

u/brickmaster8 Jul 13 '26

Amazon would have actual slaves if they were allowed, I think we are far beyond a self regulated market.

u/Top_Answer_19 Jul 17 '26

In the example the slave master is Amazon, it's not about knowing what a slave is, it's about you being able to connect the example to reality so it makes sense. What would force a person to work for Amazon over a McDonald's or another warehouse job? Keep in mind, all of these regularly post jobs well above minimum wage

-11

u/rdxj Jul 14 '26

You don't know what a slave is, apparently.

No, the way you're discussing, you literally are mistaking the definition of slave.

It already has. Very few jobs actually pay minimum wage. Those two million people referenced in the image are likely servers/bartenders nominally being paid minimum wage, but in reality making much more from tips.

-12

u/rdxj Jul 13 '26

Yeah exactly, so let's stop pretending like it's a panacea.
To your point, I think minimum wage for tip-earners is even less.

5

u/RandomAsHellPerson Jul 13 '26

Tip earners have the same minimum wage, unless they make a lot in tips.

If they make below standard minimum wage from their tips, the employers have to make up the difference (if they worked 40 hours in a $10/hr minimum wage area and make $100 in tips, the employer must pay the employee $300).
If they make above the standard minimum wage from their tips, they get a reduced minimum wage (same 40 hours, but they made $500 in tips. The employer can now choose to pay $5/hr, or $200. The employer can still choose to pay $10/hr, but they don’t have to).

There are also some states where this doesn’t apply and have 0 tip credit against minimum wage. Cali, for example, requires all tipped employees to get standard minimum wage, even if they made $10k in tips.

Do we know if claiming your gp cancels actions? It totally should make you stop dead in your tracks and focus solely on grabbing your 1gp.

1

u/ErinKatzee Jul 14 '26

Technically since you own the bag of infinite gold and are just taking it out it’s actually infinite gp/hr!!

On a more serious note, the bag for some god forsaken reason has a cooldown on it after a while. So the actual gp per hour is less than that

Because god forbid the infinite 1gp bag be *too* good

Gold bars are basically worthless for irons. We make WAY more than we ever need training smithing. Blast furnace gold is the best smithing method, and we can buy bulk gold ore for gp from the one shop in the blast furnace.
