[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 219768, member: 10234"] Probably because they got that call from (McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys) they were waiting for. You want to retain these young kids, you've got to pay them a decent wage and (at least) let them work their gaurantee. They're started late and then rushed off the clock as soon as possible. When they get their first check and see what little they actually take home and how hard they had to work for it, that's pretty darn discouraging. 8 years ago, my son worked for a small landscaping business while he was still in high school. A few hours every night and then longer on Sat. He brought home more than most of the p/ters are bringing home now. Of course he didn't have (or need) benefits. And the work was nowhere near as hard as UPS. You can't figure out why management has no idea why these people would up and quit? This is the same management that thought back in 97 that we would cross the picket line by the thousands. They look at the company through rose colored glasses. You beat a dog everytime it comes home, eventually it just doesn't come home. [/QUOTE]
