Not wanting to hijack the rant posting on Menial Jobs remarks, thought I would mention it here instead:
I loved my assorted menial jobs when I was young as I was ""thankful"" to have a job in the early 80's in MI. If and When I did not, I searched till the next opening came along. Husband has a saying, No one asked you to work here, you make a choice each day to work here, if you are unhappy leave, don't make everyone else who is happy, unhappy.
Why is not this true today at all the so called menial job employees who take my hard earned money and act as though they hate where they are? (I know not all) Is it the culture? It is the I deserve more attitude? Is it the management accepts this type attitude?
I frequent the stores that I do go to (prefer the net for shopping) that treat me kindly and pleasant. The ones that don't I show by not spending my money there unless I have no choice.
