That goes without saying for any job you get-if the man's willin' to buy your time. $tatus doesn't count here; I've held positions from highest to lowest; golf-course caddy to real estate appraiser, to Fed. housing Lt. to owning an eighteen-wheeler and never been late or missed a day in 51 years (knock on wood-weather permitting)

On three occasions, the bosses have even given me the day-off with PAY! just for being the most reliable S.O.B! The boss's madness has method: The kids, usually one-third my age and a little slack, get the point. I'm essentially a 'fire and forget': the current boss ( I haven't actually seen one in 13 years) sends me out by phone and doesn't have to wonder if it'll get done. The old Boy Scout ethos at work BBY! ATTN Rockstar; I hope that's not Auto Zone

I get called out to those ....after they've been robbed!

Keep the cash tills with minimum amounts at all times and big ad posters on the front windows.

Giving more than you get is an awesome way to live your life.

Yes sir. And as a manager, you get a chance to inspire and groom the people below you.

I have had some pretty cruddy jobs and some really bad bosses, but I always gave the job more than what was expected. No matter what, I can hold my head high.
