I'm not sure of the message your trying to send here....Are you upset because an Hispanic man is making more that you are? Would you be mad if he was Caucasian? Are you upset because he doesn't speak English as well as you? Are you upset because he works in a very high paying industry and you are working in a department store? Perhaps you are upset because he gets lots of overtime at time and a half and you don't?
I assume if you want the big bucks, you might want to look into being an interior painter.

Retail doesn't pay well. Interior painters have to be careful and do good work. There is more talent needed to that can of work. Retail work, you need to get along and be nice to customers. Next time you see him, maybe he can help hook you up with the kind of work he does, only, if you can do that kind of work.

Anyone who will put in 40 hours of overtime in one week...deserves a good wage.

Trades have always paid better than being a store clerk.
