Comment on IS IT THAT BAD WORKING AT THE GROCERY STORE? by bandsxbands

My friend and I were recently talking about how modern society has evolved to become so integrated with technology. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.

I don’t mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside… I just hope that as memory gets less expensive, the possibility of copying our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It’s one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.

You know, I agree with you and love that you are so honest and up front about being dramatic! It is important that we see things correctly and that means that sometimes we allow them to be dramatic to see the importance of them. I also love that even if we choose to take a mundane job, we dont’ have to be mundane in the job. We can choose to be happy no matter what we are doing. And while it would be great if we all could do what we are best at and be in ideal jobs, since utopia hasn’t arrived yet, we can all be best at choosing joy and peace in any situation and in any position!

You are so right Denise. Thank you for your interest in helping them out. The funny thing about how our attitude impacts things is since people have seen how these two young women selflessly work and love what they do, everyone is looking to give them donations – myself included. This is just another example of how doing the right thing pays off. Thanks for the post.

Those are two amazing women who were mentioned in the post from Jay Cannon. I will pass the word around about the donations.
I have seen a lot of bad customer service in many different types of businesses. It does amaze me that people project their poor additudes to any one they come across. You can make a good job out of a bad job by just trying to enjoy it. As you have mentioned – there are so many people out there that have horrible jobs and it could be so much worse.

You would think the automated”self check out” machines several aisles down would be threat enough for these peoples jobs to have them at least make an effort in customer relations.
The only thing the companies havent figured out is to program a personality into these machines …”yet”
The one thing I do like about the self check out though is your groceries don’t get launched from a distance into your green box!
On another note I am canvassing for the United Way and as part of our training we visited a Women’s shelter in Windsor .
It houses 11 women ,the home could hold more but anything over 11 requires additional staff.
So two young women aged in their twenties I would say,run the whole house , from admin to cooking , cleaning and every other need these unfortunate women need. They house people from the mentally ill, drug users to women who have fell foul of the economy.
They feed the eleven women on $126 a week from the government so obviously donations are a necessity. They also run a drop in food bank there.
When asked if they enjoyed their jobs they both immediately said they loved it!
These girls truly impressed me to the point where I will never complain about any job I ever
have to do.
Lets face it a lot of people dont know how good they have it.!

Good Post Jackie. x
