work, work, work

When it comes to having a job, working hard seems like a top priority to me. A job isn't just some thing you do to pass time or have fun. Although some jobs can be fun, it is always important to work hard and do what you need to do. When I am at my job, I do what I'm supposed to and have fun only when I have time. It really gets on my nerves when my coworkers talk nonstop and don't pay attention to what they are doing. I work at Buffalo Wild Wings and it is important that we bag up people's to-go orders properly. What I don't understand is how a person can be oblivious to the reason they are at work. Another thing we do at my job, is called portioning. We have little cups of ranch, blue cheese, southwest ranch, cocktail, honey mustard, sour cream, and a few others. Our job is to pour the sauces into the little cups. We have a certain amount of cups that we have to portion at the end of our shifts to ensure that there will be enough for the next people's shift. What I don't understand is how people can not do what they are supposed to and not feel bad about it. Does fairness ever come to a person's mind? Or what about work ethics? A business needs certain things in order to work, including different tasks for each worker. Having a good work ethic will get you a lot farther in your career.
