An open letter
Dear Convenience Store Employee,
Thank you for the years of sub-par service at your establishment. Of waiting to turn my gas pump on while you finish your Milky Way, of overcharging me for beer and cigarettes, and for broadcasting an air of apathy and lethargy that is unparalleled in this hemisphere. You really are the unsung hero of America.
Imagine a world where you get off the phone and actually attend to your customers. Can you fathom the horrors that would result in a smile and a thank you after I make in a purchase in your store. And what would behavior like that teach our children? No, its much better that you continue doing your minimum wage job with no motivation and desire to do better for yourself.
I’m sure you’ve had multiple employment offers from all the successful businessmen who frequent your store who have been impressed with your get up and go attitude and professionalism. Choose it carefully, because your job working the 11PM to 6 AM shift at the local gas and go make not be there if things don’t work out at another job. And someone has to teach the new Bantu trainee the ropes.
Sincerely
A loyal patron
