Does Anyone Want To Work?

What is the deal with people not wanting to work these days? My favorite salami slicer from the deli counter at Wally World did it again last night. She told me (with an attitude) that she couldn't slice any meat for me because they were closed. At 8:30pm. Riiiiight. I caused a scene in the middle of Wal Mart last night that almost got me arrested. Fortunately the manager came around to my way of thinking and my kids have lunch meat today.

Seriously -- what is the deal with people not wanting to work anymore? That girl at the deli counter last night should've just told me the truth -- "Sir, look...I really don't want to be here, I really don't want to work, I just want to be on welfare."

My wife runs into the same thing constantly from another point of view. As a small business owner she goes through part-time employees like changing clothes. The ability to hire good people has come to a grinding halt. I believe that good employees start in the home. I was brought up that if I wanted to succeed in life I had to go to work. Period.
