After the author's interviews at Winn-Dixie and Hearthside, she felt a sense of compassion for low-wage workers.

Explanation:

In this text, the author shows up at interviews at both Winn-Dixie and Heartside. This is done as part of her experience as a low-wage worker. At Winn-Dixie, her interview is performed by a computer, with no human interaction and very little concern for her skills. Moreover, she is asked questions that attack her personal morality, such as a urine test. At Heartside, she realizes that the interviewer is uninterested in learning more about her. These experiences cause the author to feel a sense of compassion for low-wage workers.
