Being part of the service world is a difficult place to digest the process of upper management with their way of determining what's acceptable in the world of attitude, "We're only paying $7.25 an hour and have learned to expect that nothing will ever be perfect." By choice, I'm a very positive person. Until the paths of chance put me face to face with someone allowed to carry their negative energy forward. Hey! They make $7.25 an hour. Boss man on campus says, "Accept the reality." On this podcast I dive into the subject with a deeper purpose to help uncover who, what, where, why and when? The mirrored image of what's projected beyond the bathroom or rear view mirror isn't always the person we think we are. I'm not afraid to talk about how religious people always seems so happy and filled with spirit upon our arrival within the four walls of preaching. Show me who you are when the bills are due and the kids won't take out the trash. How can anyone be grateful in a world that expects perfection at a very low cost and or price? I once had an OM that sharply told me, "I'm not interested in solutions. Fix the problem before you take the time to speak to me." Can you imagine using that statement while looking at your tired eyes in the mirror? Fix the problem before you take the time to speak to me. But wait! I make $7.25 an hour! So many paths of disconnection and yet each dried river is to be met with expectation. For most of us our shoulders hurt from shrugging off a bad performance. I laugh out loud while having dinner with a decision maker that complains about how the wait staff at a restaurant can't seem to get their act together. The wrong food is brought to the table. The water glass is empty. The bill is wrong. Yeah! Welcome to the vision of how your business is also run. Those outside your next decision see things your company has elected to ignore. Leaders that can't pay a better wage and accept poor performance should walk into every day expecting nothing more than below average. If any employee has a difficult time filling their gas tank, those that hired them should be wearing the same face of shame. Bad service isn't the person. They've been trained to accept poor wages as part of the process. In two hours they'll be working at their fifth part time job. God is no different. Who, what, what, where, when and how are you receiving and do you arrive with the attitude of not needing a solution, you attempted to fix the problem before arriving in his place of grace?
