I hate Carl's Jr.

But, when I forget my lunch, I go there. Why? Because their employees are super friendly. Not that creepy Stepford friendly that makes my skin crawl, but genuinely happy.

Same thing with the Taco Bell down the street, but they take it to a different level and actually have fun with the customers. They like to play practical jokes, make silly comments, etc. over the drive-thru speaker.

I shop at Lowe's for the same reason. The employees at the Home Depot out here seem tired and a little put out when you ask for help. Lowe's, they seem thrilled to answer even the dumbest questions (and they like to play with the Christmas toys when they think no one is looking).

I wonder about all the employees at these companies that have threatened or carried through with their threats of layoffs due to the reelection of our President. And, Hostess, did they like their jobs? Did they look forward to going to work?

My boss and I were just talking about Costco. They're nice there. The butcher is always whistling, a close friend of my is the eye doc there and loves his job.

So, I can't imagine I'm the only one that prefers to shop where I don't feel like a burden to the employees. My analysis, happy workers lead to profits. I wonder how you create a work environment that leads to happy workers? Hmmmmm...tough one, eh?

Electoral Vote...Pros & Cons?

I've been on the fence with this since I was a kid. I love it when it's in our favor, hate it when it isn't. I feel the same way about the filibuster. Because we don't have control of the house, I hate it. But, if/when we ever get another Republican President and we regain control of the house...I'll rant about the benefits.

What are your thoughts, opinions, rants, etc.?
