Scary stuff . . .

It was shocking to watch the news and hear the hoards of illegal immigrants declaring that they deserve free everything and that they are owed this. The mind set of our world today is certainly self-centered. People seem to want the easy way out and if they don't like the work involved, they would just as soon skip that part and live off someone else's labor.

I see this in most every store clerk, these day. You can tell by their attitude that they want that paycheck and are pretty much putting in time in order to get it without undue effort.

It is so refreshing to deal with a store clerk who had decided to do their job to the best of their ability and be cheerful and helpful. You don't find too many these days! I was at Best Buy once and asked one of the clerks about a particular video game. He said he would check in the back. I watched this guy wander off and NOT go to the back and check on our request. He ended up standing a few aisles away. I walked up to him, AGAIN, and he smiled and asked if he could help me! He was so inept he couldn't even remember who he had not bothered to help already!

On the other hand, there is a cashier at the grocery store that not only remembers me but has a cheerful word, a joke, and a smile. There are times I go out of my way to shop there just because I get treated like a human being.

Seems to me that if everyone would look more to how they are appearing to the world rather than how the world should be for them, we might have a lot less problems.
