what happened to the american work ethic?

i had two men in the last 3 months give me two weeks notice they are leaving igtogo for another job and pick up their check on the monday and never come back. what does that tell you about these men and is this a reflection our the american worker. give a man your word and then walk away. i've seen it again and again and i'm starting to believe this is the norm. now let me say these are entry level $8/hr jobs but they're still jobs and they get paid every monday whether i made money that week or not. i made a commitment to those fellows and made good on those commitments. they made a commitment to me and walked away. i guess that tells you what kind of man they were.
we also have had to hire and hire several cashiers because they have no work ethic. we had a young lady who started a few days ago come in last night and just didn't want to be there. had no enthusiasm, drive and most worry some no smile. when your at the front window of the igtogo your our only connection to the public and your sooo important. you need to smile and up sell. this young girl has some problems and we sure don't need them. she left and i was relieved.
this i can see will be a problem with our industry in the future. we need to hire good people, pay them well and hope they feel the same way about igtogo that i do. we need to hope they care.
keep your heads up and keep smiling.
ciao,
john david
