not just lazy either... but HUGE pussies!

kids are so fuckin soft these days! theres too many rules protecting the safty of kids... if kids are dumb enough to do something that hurts or kills them then the parents probably passed on some dumbass genes... sparklers should not be illegal in IL just cause some dumb fuckin kid doesnt know which end to grab

CHRIST

I hate this too!!!!!

seriously, if I ever spawn a child, the kid will be tough. I won't be a slave driver, but if he/she and gets a knee scrape, I won't be in the ER yelling at the nurses like it's an emergency.

Maybe you're just hiring the wrong people...It could be your judgement that is hurting you.

When employees aren't on point it's usually because they don't have to be. In other words, you're a shitty manager!

Maybe he's just not paying them enough. Now get it right!

Peace

I lied, I'd call out so I could go play at the beach. The beach is for playing, not for working, that my friend is the WTF of the situation. Pffftttt!

I hire mostly european students for my business because they never ever call out, they find work that needs to be done, and they are all around great workers.
My american employees? Fucking suck! They call out, they sit on their ass not knowing what needs to be done unless you give them a list, and they always are the first to leave early.

Its really fucking pathetic to think that these spoiled kids are our future.
This country is going to shit.

PARENTS.........Teach your children the meaning of earning a dollar!
Don't give them what ever they want b/c they cry for it!

My american girl that called out said that she dosent even need the job, but her parents said if she wants to rent a house with friends at the shore for the summer she needs to work. Well dumb ass parents.....that does not help if they don't need the money b/c you give it to them.
This is why many companies hire illegals.....b/c american kids are fucking lazy!

Fucking lazy people.....I hate them

It's all about training. Maybe the younger generation is not held responsible for much anymore, but you can train them to be better employees. How do you interview these kids anyways?

My wife and I went to the Hartford show (we are from Ontario, Canada) and this was one of the observations we both made: "Service people down here sure have no problem making the customer wait." This was at nice restaurants, fast food restaurants, interstate highway truckstop restaurants...

In Canada, if your glass is less than half full, the waiter or waitress will typically bring out a refill without even being asked. When you get to the restaurant, the hostess seats you (promptly if they are not busy) and a waiter or waitress appears usually within 30 seconds, getting your drink order.

For lunch on Friday Jun 27, we ate at "Vito's by the Park" in Hartford, which came recommended from the hotel staff. When we get there, we can see about 7-8 unbussed tables, and the hostess says it will be a 10-15 minute wait. So whatever, we weren't in a rush so we take a seat at the bar and wait. The hostess then proceeds to sit on her ass! In Canada, those tables would have been bussed within minutes of being vacated by the previous customer! And if not, the hostess, if not busy at the front would have bussed at least one of them really quickly when we came in. Instead we waited for more than 15 minutes for them to bus one of 7 or 8 tables. Then they sat us, and the waitress, despite being really friendly, was really not up to what we see in Canada at any restaurant.

And I'm not limiting this to just one experience. We went to FLA and Vegas/Utah/Arizona last year. Although, out west it was a lot closer to Canada...so I can't really complain about that area.

The best service we got in Hartford was at Hooters and I'm not kidding. Those girls were prompt, friendly and really earned their tip. (all jokes aside)

I've been working since I was 15. And even before then summers were spent doing shitty jobs around my house for nothing. The worst was when I was in college, I had to spend all summer working every hour under the sun so I could pay rent/bills until November when I got the grant, while everyone else in my class went travelling around the world on their J1 + other visas and their parents money. That pissed me off royally, but I think I'm the better person for it anyway.
