First job out of high school I was a delivery driver for an electrical wholesaler. A customer had a machine down and they called me in from my route to pick up and deliver the part they needed. I arrived to find a group of 6-7 men sitting at the receiving area on break and tried to get one to sign for the package so I could continue on my way. They all refused and expected me to stand there for 15 minutes while they sat on their arses. I took off and got a call begging me to return. It’s simply ridiculous that not one of those A-Holes couldn’t even sign their name but chose to screw with my day. Another thought I’ve been having with all these strikes lately. Just what in the hell does an executive’s income have to do with what they’re paying their employees? It’s none of anyone’s damn business what they make as long as they’re paying a decent wage for services rendered. My whole career I was a full commissioned salesman and if I wanted to make more then it was up to me to work harder/smarter and sell more. I’m sure unions do some good although I’ve always had a difficult time figuring out just what that was.</blockquote>
