I cannot stand it when people say things like, "He's such an idiot...he probably works at such and such fast food place who sells Burgers." Now I don't work at that particular Fast Food Place, (instead I chose to be an SP) and I never have, but you can bet your rear end that if I were in a tight spot and I had a family to support that I wouldn't look down my nose at a job like that. People in service jobs don't get enough credit, and it's like some people feel the need to make others with those kinds of job feel shame and that isn't fair. A job is a job, and if that person shows up every day and performs at that job, then that deserves respect. Working at a fast food restaurant or being a waitress or cashier or even a SP as I am - may not be as glamorous as being a doctor or a lawyer, but a doctor's money is no better than the money of a blue collar worker. There may be more of it in a doctor's pocket, but it's the value of each dollar is still the same. It irks me when I am in the checkout line at a store, standing behind someone who feels they can treat the cashier like garbage just because they can. I am on of those people who will say something, because I can't be fired for telling off the Moran and I am sure the poor girl behind the register appreciates it since she is unable to say anything in her defense at the risk of becoming unemployed. Yesterday, while waiting in line, I watched as the cashier greeted a man with a smile and he didn't even look at her or say anything, just literally tossed his items on the counter in front of her. She rung him up, he paid and grabbed his items and snatched another plastic bag from the rack as if he was irritated-if had liked something double bagged all he had to do was ask-and when the girl said, "Thanks, have a good evening." he just turned and walked off. I said, "You're welcome!" real loud and obnoxiously and he turned around and glared at me as I smiled all bright. He didn't say anything...I guess his evil stare was supposed to frighten me or something...hardly, I could have so taken him
