This is quite possibly one of the most fascinating windows into someone's mind you can hope to receive. 

It tells everything about their life and mind. 

The author is college educated, works a corporate office job and their mind quite literally can not imagine owning a business. They have only ever seen money flow one way.

They suck up to their employer who pays them. When at a store, they pay the employee for stuff and see them treated like shit by other customers and even their boss. They also extend this and use it to prop up their headcanon social status above any tradespeople they have to call because they can't fix anything themselves. 

They can't comprehend that every service rendered is a 2 way exchange, and that the buyer needs the laborer as much, or god forbid more, than the laborer needs their money. They see it as a 1 way negotiation which is why they want to mandate higher wages. They see themselves as powerless to get a raise and their employer as all powerful to grant one. 

This is why they choose to deal with corporations in every matter possible rather than individuals. They need to feel superior over the employee they see and need to get the sense that they are exploiting someone's labor so they think they are getting good value for their money. Hearing about child sweatshops for a certain company work as a perverted advertisement for them. They feel sad for the kids, but in the back of their mind, they imagine that sweater as an absolute steal since in their minds they are getting $30 worth of adult labor for only $20. In their mind, according to labor theory of value, the more worker exploitation happens, the more valuable of a good they are getting for the same price, after accounting for profit margins.
