Input: So "Jesse"(m42) and I(m37) have been friends for going on 20 years. I'm the entrepreneurial type, he's the just keep your head down and work hard and the American dream will automatically come type. Jesse has 3 jobs. He works at a car wash during the day, then parks trucks for UPS, then finishes off most his nights doing valet for a restaurant.

 The car wash is the 8-year gig. Jesse works hard asf. He's never late, never calls in sick, always down to come in on his days off if he's called in. Super trooper for real. The problem is, his starting wage was $7.25/hr....fast forward 8 years he now makes $8.15/hr. To add insult to injury the employees must split tips. And since washing cars is such a menial profession he's the 42-year-old working hard to survive while surrounded by co-workers who are mostly fuck ups or high school kids on break who just don't care. 

He's the workhorse and his employers take advantage of it full tilt. If he wants a day off to go check out the Bengals(his fave team) he damn near has to beg. When he's tried to bring up raises in the past management manipulates him into thinking his requests are non-sensical. Almost every day he tells me the BS he has to deal with from managers and co-workers and almost every day I tell him how he deserves better and should look for better but he kind of shuts down when I make these suggestions.

 So a couple days ago he comes to my place all smiles and suuuper excited. Like "bro, guess what happened at work." I'm thinking ohhhh shit, this mf finally got a raise. He tells me that their busy as all hell when the owner pulls up and gets out of his car looking pissed as fire. As soon as he gets out he points at Jesse and orders him over to the car, hands on his waist pacing back and forth clearly irritated. According to Jesse he literally runs over to the owners car. When Jesse gets over there, the owner switches up and begins to explain how much he appreciates Jesse for his hard work and YEARS of dedication to the business.

 The owner then tosses Jesse the keys to the car and pauses for a moment. Long enough of a moment to give Jesse the thought that the owner just gave him the car. The owner then chuckles and says nahhh I cant give you the beamer but I got you something else, open the trunk and check it out. Jesse takes the keys, opens up the trunk,(Again I'm thinking to myself like...it better be a kilo of bam bam or at least 3 mac book pros in that bitch) and feasts his eyes on...a mf'n air fryer.

 Jesse is telling me this shit like he's the luckiest dude in the world, and I, somewhat regrettably so begin to dismantle every bit of his excitement by describing how much of an insult and slap in the face this "gift" from his employer is. I'm telling him shit like "you should've thrown that air fryer across the damn street and told him to go fuck himself" etc etc. My rant probably lasted 3 minutes and at the end of it I look at his face and he looks embarrassed and somewhat ashamed. He's not looking at me while he say's "well I thought it was pretty cool I really wanted one of those things". I again go into explaining why he should feel disrespected and not appreciated until I snap out of it. Then he tells me maybe I'm right, followed by "well I gotta get to my other job" but I really feel like he just left because I shit all over his good day. What's your take? AITA

TL:DR Friend of mine has been working at a place that's given him less than a dollar raise in 8 years. Owner gives him an air fryer to show appreciation. My friend feels good about it until I make him feel bad about it. 

making a friend of mine feel stupid for being excited about a "gift" he received from his employer of 8 years
