Harry lives in a fantasy world where stagnation is the status quo, per person productivity is never increased, automation never happens, eating habits never change. "narcissistic adults have had decades of not being in synch with the times or with other people, so that by now they are really out of it. Sometimes it just seems like they have a highly selective memory -- which, of course, they do, sort of; they pay attention only to what has their name in it in the first place, so after 30 or 40 years" |

" *JimH*" wrote in message . .. or is a *real* job sweeping the floor at a GM plant and earning $60,000/year for doing so? That must be the entry-level folks. Hell, their benefit package alone equates to $35+/hour. No wonder GM is going broke. The best thing we can do as Americans is buy cars (domestic or foreign) made in non-union plants right here in the US (like Toyota's Princeton, IN plant). I predict that in the next 5 to 10 years, GM will start opening new plants again in the US...but with the insistance that the new plants are non-union. |

A real job is a job that pays enought to enable an adult with a family to earn enough in terms of wages and fringes to support that family with decent food, shelter, clothing and health care. So is working as a clerk at Casual Corner a real job Harry? |

So is working fulltime at a retail job as a clerk a *real* job Harry? If it pays enough for an adult to support himself/herself and family, and provides health benefits, et cetera, then it is a real job. If not, it is a McJob. It is still real work, of course, but it is exploitive of whomever holds it. Real jobs pay real wages and provide real fringe benefits. Fair enough. So does Casual Corner pay more/hour with more benefits for a clerk then say........Wal-Mart? |

You can't stop responding to each and every post I make can you? I'm thinking of putting up 500 automated posts an hour, just to give your statistical analysis more meat to put in your sock. Here's a cookie, no post a response. |

You should know those answers if you are mourning the loss of 525 Casual Corner stores. Eh? |
