#no holidays

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

Tourists seem to understand that nobody wants to work on Thanksgiving, but they also believe everything has to stay open to accommodate them anyway.

First customer interaction of the day

"It's a shame your boss is making you work on Thanksgiving."

Well, I'm here because you're here. Someone has to man the motel. We can't just leave the property unsupervised.

Hours later, different customers

"The sink in our bathroom is leaking all over the floor."

"Okay, I'll send someone over to fix it in just a minute."

"Who are you gonna send on Thanksgiving day? No one's gonna be available!"

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? I'm a cashier, I don't fix plumbing! That's not my job! I don't know how to do it! I'm not gonna TRY to do it or else I'll fuck it up even worse! You're complaining about it, but you don't think anyone should have to come out and do anything about it? We have a handyman just for this occasion. If you don't think people should work on Thanksgiving, DON'T TRAVEL ON THANKSGIVING!

I'm a person, I'm a human being, I'm right here in front of you, but you think my time is worth less than yours, less than any other worker's. Why? Why do you think I deserve to be here, but nobody else does? You think my boss is being unreasonable, but you have no qualms against asking me to do odd jobs for you around the property. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. If you feel so sorry for me, then STAY HOME!

One of the most personal, saddest things about living in America is the summertime.

There is 0 reason for American adults not to have a summer break. I can only say this with a full throat so loud, but other countries have policies and laws that give adults summertime.

It is not a joke to say France is kind of shutdown for August. There are over a dozen countries that have enough mandatory, legally required leave available to take an entire month off, or more. PLUS mandatory PAID holidays.

It's Brazil and Russia (ooh scary BRIC countries outgrowing the US and coming for us). India AND China give up to 2 weeks mandatory vacation leave, plus sick leave on top.

It's Afghanistan (20 days). It's Angola (22). It's Argentina(25) and Armenia (25) and Australia (20). It's Cambodia (technically unlimited; you can eventually get 15 or 17 days per month vacation).

That us on top of mandatory PAID public holidays. Cambodia can somehow manage 27 mandatory paid holidays plus upwards of 18 vacation days per year and going up from there, and we in the US can't even manage mandatory paid holidays.

We don't even get paid on Christmas and Memorial Day. And even trying to convince some people, let alone politicians, that everyone should get paid on Christmas is unfair to compare to pulling teeth.

Please. Please. I want to have a better life. I want you to have a better life.

I want you to not miss Summer Break. Because France and Cambodia don't.

really wish i'd figured this out sooner but refusing to capitulate to someone who you know from repeat experience is determined not to respect you whether they understand you or not really is one of the greatest experiences in the world because there is Nothing they can do about it that matters if you refuse to play along and trying to comprehend that is physically painful for them. you get to watch the light go out of their eyes in real time as the cracks begin to form in the tinted glass through which they see the world. power word kill your ego.
