Peanuts and Job Security
The other day I went to Five Guys, with the family, for lunch and as I was waiting for our food I had to move out of the way for someone cleaning up.
He was sweeping the floors and I was standing by the peanuts. As I moved away, I realized that his job would never be finished. Everytime he swept someone was either dropping peanuts or shells on the floor.
I said to him "You are never finished, are you?" I was actually thinking doesn't the fact that you are never complete drive you crazy. Actually, I was thinking someone in his position probably gets frustrated with us constantly making a mess while eating. But he did not think that way at all. What he said to me was refreshing, thoughtful, and grateful.
"It is called job security." were the words he shared. Perspective is everything!
