Have you ever went to a restaurant and gotten atrocious service but you were afraid to complain because you thought they might retaliate and sabotage your food? Come on be honest, I think all of us have been in that sort of a situation at one time or another.
I myself have many a time and mind you, I am a pretty easy going, fun-loving person with a perpetual smile.
Hey sometimes people are in a bad mood, it's nothing you did, but you as a consumer end up with the brunt of their personal emotional issues of the day or angst, perhaps about their work environment.
Okay so, let's talk shall we? It's been well known that those workers who cross the picket lines to go work do so at their own personal risk.
Companies know they must guard their cars for fear of slashed tires and vandalism, and there always seem to be at least one or two cases in big factory strikes of bodily harm to the "scabs" as they call them who do cross those picket lines.
This isn't pretty, it isn't legal, but we all know it happens, it is the way of things.
I liken it to a mob mentality looking for a victim, scapegoat or someone they can teach a lesson to, a symbol of their anger you might say.
Again, I offer absolutely no justification for such behavior and find it rather pathetic.
Recently, there was a 100-city strike planned at fast food restaurants across the nation, and it was partly organized by the unions looking to get these fast food employees organized and unionized.
Their demands were simple; they want $15.
00 per hour and not minimum wage.
In many cases that doubles their hourly pay - a 100% pay raise.
The rest of us should be so lucky? Maybe they are aiming for the stars and figure they will settle for the moon, as the President had stated he wants minimum wage raised to $10.
00 per hour now.
To round out my point here, I'd like to point to an article on MSNBC on December 6, 2013 titled; "Ga.
Wendy's worker drops pot in burger, arrested," by Phillip Lucas.
Apparently, the employee had just finished smoking a joint and dropped what was left into the burger, as he was angry about the pay and taking it out another way.
So, let me ask you something here, are we putting up with and encouraging bad behavior with all these protests, marches, strikes, and populist political rhetoric as we incite class warfare? I think we are and I think it needs to stop, and I believe it starts with the behavior of the Teleprompter in Chief.
What say you?
