Re: Too...



A: As one of the "incoming" (albeit from Canada and not some other 3rd world 
nation) I have been stuck in the low paying, poor condition jobs that I have 
had to supplement with sales of parts from my project's spare stuff. You'd 
think with 30 years experience behind the wrench I'd be a little further 
ahead of the curve. My new "manager" bitches me out because of the time I 
spend with a customer, yet I post generally higher sales figures than most 
and the fewest number of parts I sell come back because I like to make sure 
they are right the first time. (correct information results in correct 
diagnosis and parts)
   I move too slow to ever work in a shop again as a mechanic, but I am 
constantly frustrated with the seemingly knowledgeless people in the 
business making money hand over fist. (same goes for the customers that come 
in. I often have them get a diagnosis from a shop and pop by to have me 
confirm or deny the possibility. One yesterday had a bad battery, yet the 
shop insisted they needed a new starter and alternator to the tune of $1200. 
She made me a VERY nice dinner last night! <G>)

 THAT'S why they get jobs -- they WANT TO WORK! I don't mean sit and get 
paid, I mean actually WORK, even under poor conditions and with poor pay. 

Americans used to want to work...
