Just got off the phone with Michelle Beck from the 113th Family Support Group. As of 3pm, our total for Operation Kiss A Cow is $1,236!! If we reach our goal of $2,500 by Friday at Noon I will honor my promise to kiss a cow.

Throwing A Fit
Thanks for all the feedback about the story on the radio yesterday about throwing a fit at Wal Mart. I always knew our listeners had strong opinions and I got some on both sides yesterday. One lady I ran into at daycare pickup was agreeing wholeheartedly with everything I said.
On the flipside, I got an email from a listener who thought I should apologize to that poor woman at the deli counter. She felt that the woman had worked all day on Easter and was just trying to get home to her family a little sooner. Now if you're really lost -- the lady at the deli counter wouldn't slice any lunch meat for me at 8:30pm after telling me she gets off at 10:00 and needed to finish her cleanup routine.
The best comment came from my wife's best friend last night at dinner. She said that I was totally in the right to throw a fit. Here's the quote: "Scott...you go ahead and throw your fit. I can't imagine what I would've done at that deli counter...especially if I was PMSing." Now that's a fit worth seeing on a security cam.

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.
