Note to parents with teens looking for Summer work...

[Dr. T]

10. I was at a local fast food restaurant when I noticed

three high schoolers in restaurant uniforms sitting in a booth in the dining area, chatting and yukking it up, while the manager did all the work.

I went over to the booth and told them that getting fired from McDonald's was going to look bad on their resumes. They looked at me as if they did not understand the words that were coming from my mouth.

Nobody gave me money when I was a kid. Nobody. Not even my parents. They didn't have any to give. If I wanted a bicycle or whatever, I had to work for the money to buy it. That scenario was highly effective at instilling a sense of work ethics.
