Into the kinky stuff? Good to know. Good to know.
welcome to the new america, no offence go back to ranching. my job 8 years got elected to clean my first week on the job no one has cleaned anything but me. no pride, no caring, just do the minimum to get by. got to love it !!
I know a retired Navy fella that took a job at a auto parts store part time driving their little parts delivery truck around town to the garages......more to have something to do than needing the money.
I mentioned to mama that I might want to do something like that especially in the winter to keep from getting cabin fever and knowing me like she does she said that I wouldn't last a month and I ask her how come.
She said the first time some young still wet behind the ears store mgr wanted to impress the other young employees that worked there by bossing around the old guy (me) that I'd look him dead in the eyes and tell him in no uncertain terms to go pound sand up his a$$ while hoping that he'd lay a hand on me.......the woman knows me too well so I didn't go apply for a job and I find other ways to keep from getting cabin fever in the winter months.

Awesome. At almost 45 years old, I changed careers a few years ago and went to work on a military installation, working for a defense contractor. Union job…. I have nothing against unions, aside from the fact that they seem to reward laziness and don’t reward hard work and effort. They do pay well, and to show my gratitude for a great job, I work my tail off. Just like every other job I’ve ever had.
Anyway, during my first few weeks at this job, I’m cleaning during downtime, doing general maintenance and repairs on items around the building, just basically keeping myself busy with work that other folks don’t want to do. I suddenly realize I’m making my coworkers very nervous. They don’t like how I do things. Their “not my job” mentality is making them look bad.
Well, I’m now almost 4 years into my new career, and the big bosses are now filling the department I work in, with more folks like me. We’re turning the tide. I don’t want to pat myself on the back too much, but my attitude of “let me do it” and gratefulness for the job are rubbing off. I only point that out because most folks KNOW they should work hard while on the clock, and someone who sets a good example WILL influence them to do the right thing. The guys I’m allowed to train work hard and they see this career field for what it is: an amazing opportunity that pays exceptionally well.
Work hard, be proud of the job you do, and feel good about yourself. It’s that easy.

Lucky you, we seem to be steadily getting more and more of the lazy, entitled PoS.
The older ones are retiring or just quitting, to not have to deal with them.
The 1st fired would be that so-called manager. Girl on phone, fired at the same time.
Our local Dollar General is the same way. Can't get down any aisle because of carts of inventory waiting to be stocked on the empty shelves. Usually 4 or 5 employees on the outside, smoking and on phone. Maybe 1 in the store.
At least they put in the self check registers, so you can get what you need.
In 19 years, I have been in that store less than 10 times.
A Family Dollar is being built. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Looking forward to more posts from the original poster. My son tells us stores about the crazy things he sees/hears.
Our society is so affluent even our poor people are SPOILED BRATS! That must be a first in all of human history! I'm sure that is a warning sign of an impending disaster, but what?
That all sounds real good when you say it real fast.
There isn't a business I know of that is not struggling desperately trying to find enough employees just to keep the doors open. They pretty much have to settle for whatever they can find.
