I guess I'm just lucky, in that I was brought up to believe in good work ethics.
Pride in your job has nothing to do with the minimum wage. There are people working voluntarily who give 100% to what they are doing, and provide good service irrespective of whether or not they have hangovers, or whatever.
Personally I've always given 100% to anyone who has employed me, be that cleaning bogs as a student, or on a six figure salary, in charge of multi-million pound budgets, and numerous staff.
If I was your boss I wouldn't have to sack you...because you would never have made it past the first interview.  |
You seem to skip half of what I have said, simply so you can lord it and attempt to make yourself look good, or so it seems anyway.
Your behaviour has totally changed my opinion of you, you used to at least seem to be a decent, balanced person however this has proved otherwise.
I am a good worker. I work hard and I do my job well. My boss knows this, the customers can see this, and I am not sure why I am so bothered in justifying this to you but I hate people being so very wrong. For the record, the hangover bit was a joke... along with the before 12 in the morning part, however it seems to have gone over the head.
I apologise for failing to find pride in my work of selling extremely low quality food at an extremely high price, aimed at families with young children and pensioners - the two groups of people who should really be spending their money on better things. Saying that, I do the job well and efficiently, with excellent service to the vast majority of customers. I do however put myself before my employer and would quit if my "superiors" for one second suggested that I should stand for being treated as sub-human. Luckily, as my employers do have experience in the service industry, as you so evidently do not, they understand and are on hand every time to deal with an "awkward" customer should it get to the point that blood is noticeably running down from ones bottom lip(again, a joke).
As to volunteers taking pride in their work, I would assume they do more than anybody as they wouldn't be doing it if they didn't. I know I care more about the stuff I do for Stanley, OSC and Ultras more than I do for my employer.
