Agreed. A couple of years ago, a coworker tried to help a few disadvantaged teenage girls by bringing them to our workplace for a day to see how the corporate world works. He’s a good guy and acted out of a good heart. Unfortunately, two of the girls began arguing and it turned physical. Security had to be called and they were all escorted out of the building. And these people wonder why they are where they are?

There is no ‘teaching’ of manners or responsibility..
one of my ‘favorites’-
Person comes into the bar, I am talking to the owner - after lunch. Person sits down, orders a beer or two, needs shave, looks ‘sloppy’ - not poor dirty, just sloppy. After a couple of beers he says “I heard they are looking for a bartender here”. I looked at the owner, and being the warm, people loving person I am said “I know the owner-
If you go home, shave, put on a shirt and trousers, hold the drink for after the interview, come back.
You will have to fill out an application, so make sure you bring your Drivers License or ID, Social Security Card and a pen will show you are prepared”.
The guy looked at me and said “F... it. Thanks, geez, its only a job, I ain’t going through all that”.
He had his act down pat though I didn’t see the ‘slip’ saying he was looking for a job.....
