Shit Never Changes

So, one of my co workers in the deli is leaving the job. He spoke with
me about it. They were wanting to fire him, but we have sort of a strong
Union. So what they did was give him the minimum amount of hours , 16,
no Sundays, and hope that he quits. He found a job working construction.
I asked was it indoors, it is.

A position is open now, and we have applications for the deli and was
gonna start calling people for interviews, but get this. The store
manager came to us, the deli manager and me and said, in one day, that
the next day, yesterday, a guy is coming in to train. He said its a
friend of a friend, he has no experience. Me being me, I asked, is he
white, Irish? The store manager said yes. Spider se...., well you know.
The guy comes in to train and I ask while training him what did he do?
Corporate cubicle guy, aid off, but they will call him back. Isn't this
some bullshit.

How in the hell you do something like that when we have crazy
applications from people who come in begging for a job. Is it because he
lives on Long Island, have a wife, kids and a mortgage? I'm sure his
unemployment bennies are doing a little damage to his mounting bills.
But what about the people who live in this neighborhood, who shop in our
store, who have lost their jobs. You don't think the aren't gonna see
this guy in the deli and take notice. They aren't gonna come question
you store manager, they are going to ask me what is going on. I know one
thing, he better start at minimum wage too cause he has no experience.
He's a decent guy, willing and showing he wants to learn. But the hiring
practices are off the meat chain in this store.
