Personally, I expect top-shelf effort, if not top shelf competence.

If you lack the self respect needed to keep yourself from looking like a dullard, no matter what it is you are doing, well, I'm gonna notice that.

Do you expect top shelf service from someone making 9 bucks an hour, with zip zero benefits? Good luck with that.

Your expectations and wants are in for a long disappointing wait.

I agree 100%. When I started out in life, I had to work the low-paying crap jobs too. But I always gave my best effort and provided a level of service far in excess of my pay. That is what got me noticed and promoted so I soon left those type of jobs behind forever. Even to this day, I strive to perform above my pay grade. As a result, my actual pay grade keeps improving.

So for those with the "you pretend to pay me and I'll pretend to work" attitude, get used to those go-nowhere dead end jobs because that's all you'll ever get.
