My Philosophy of Supporting Employees

I believe human interaction is important.  I also believe that entry level jobs are important, whether they are held by teenagers part-time or adults working to support themselves and/or their family. 

As such, I avoid self-checkout aisles, and at the gas station, I don't pay with a credit card at the pump.  I pay (even via credit card) through an actual person--an employee.  I don't direct deposit or use an ATM card--I go to a teller at the bank.

Employers watch and pay attention. If a worker doesn't serve customers, they are not longer needed. If the employer deems a position as "no longer needed," the job disappears.  Individuals that hold that "not needed" position are out of job.

Sure, they could get additional training and get a "better" job--one that pays better and has benefits, etc., but they are either working entry level jobs (a cashier), or jobs that could be eliminated if faceless automation takes over (such as with a bank teller). Even more, I am polite and strive to greet the individual with a kind word or comment.

Yep, call me old fashioned. Takes a little more time and effort, but I think it's the right thing to do.

Okay, enough for today.
