After 3 years working, around 1976, I was a dishwasher/busboy at a popular truck stop. The manager told me that I was going to be an assistant manager. I resisted for a couple of weeks. It came to head when he asked me why I didn’t show up one day in manager’s attire. I told him, no way. I got fired. You couldn’t pay me enough to do that job. BTW, I got payed $2 an hour at that time. No increase for being an assistant manager.
I was offered retail management positions time and again and refused....working as a commissioned sales assciate paid much better.
