    That reminds me of a story. My fiance had a guy drop off a resume that said:

    A) He couldn't sit down for a long time because of his back
    B) He couldn't stand up for a long time because of his back
    C) He couldn't do physical labor because of his back
    D) He wouldn't work for less than $25/hr

    This was at a construction place...they had that up on the bulletin board for a while

    Put it this way, you saved yourself the time and energy of training someone who would end up being unappreciative to have a decent paying job in this economy.

    Probably a former Union employee
    To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

    I had a guy come in here and ask if we were hiring. We're taking apps as we'll be expanding a bit in the near future but don't know an exact time. I tell the guy this and he says "Well, I don't want to waste my time."

    Uhh, what, putting in an application is a waste of time?

    Nice.


    Sorry bud, just ran out of applications.

    Sound's like that individual was probably in a high paying union and got laid off. I will do actual slave labor for $25/hr. Literally I will wear a loin cloth and you can whip me for that kind of money.

    I would have a hard time doing my job for $25 hour but if I was out of work for 2 years and had room to grow once my skills were proven, I would probably take it
