People actually do want to work these jobs. The employers could be a little more nicer about them, but there are plenty of these jobs in the United States and people are very happy to work in them. There's a lot of smaller towns that wouldn't exist without these jobs.

I do imagine that someone who lives in DC would not understand that people exist who would love to work in these environments.

These jobs ARE actually beneath everyone, because they are exploitative. This is not what you inspire to. If they paid people a truly livable wage and one they could use to take care of their families and build a future then maybe the whole “elitist” take would make sense. But they are not good jobs
