Once upon a time, if you lost your job you went hungry. You couldn't afford to be disrespectful to your employer or the customer. There were too many people out there who needed your job. These days, there are plenty of jobs. And even if you don't have one, you're not going to starve.
Hunger is a pretty good motivator.
That's a pretty harsh system Slim. We've worked for a long time to rid society of that kind of hardship and brutality. And I sure don't have all the answers. But people sure seemed to be a lot more respectful of each other before we fixed everything. Smokey Briggs is the Editor and Publisher of the Pecos Enterprise whose column appears on Tuesdays.
