After the interview, consisting mostly of questions regarding various family members and if my inlaw's pet donkey was feeling okay, she was hired.
(picture of daughter relaxed and happy in those "pre-job" days)
The store is small and the staff are friendly. The employees have became a close knit group. Shortly after my daughter started working there, a group of jerks began to come outside the store and harass the African American workers and follow them home, often trying to run them off the road. The other workers have all gotten involved and began taking their lunch breaks to drive their coworkers home and make sure they get their safely.
This experience caused everyone to bond. Now they get together outside of work for group milk and cookie parties and watch Disney movies together. I'm proud my daughter works at a place where everyone stands up for the rights of others and for their beliefs that everyone should be treated equally.

Yes you must be very proud on your daughter
ReplyDeleteIts a Mom feeling I have it also ....LOL
My girls had also a job when they are on school!!
:)
:)
Good for your daughter! The job and the stance...
ReplyDeleteWe have problems like that here - only in reverse. Either way, it's wrong and it's no fun. *sigh*
I love the idea of milk n cookies n Disney! =D
Oh, Pam! I know I'm a little sheltered, but I did't really think that kind of thing went on now-a-days, except in the movies. Seriously, doesn't the police do anything about it?
ReplyDeleteLessons in life for her and me, both.
Lovely pics! I'm so happy for you and your daughter Pam! Congrats and good luck!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome she decided that she wanted to work part-time. And, the fact that they all got close and stick up for each other. There's too many ignorant people in this world.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to hear that your daughter is working at a place where the staffs are looking after each other. It is truly a warmth place to work in.
ReplyDeletePam, I love your daughter's spirit and confidence and can tell from this post that you are nurturing her yet letting her step out a bit in independence so the Holy Spirit can become her Counselor.
ReplyDeleteWOW.

I remember holding down a couple of part-time jobs (at different times) in high school. It was a lot of responsibility. Until you hear about or experience the situations you described, you just don't think about it or realize it does happen.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Reminds me of a couple jobs in high school that I had. For one job tho... I'd definitely throw a couple co-workers under a bus...
ReplyDelete"if my inlaw's pet donkey was feeling okay"-LOL!!!! That was so funny!
ReplyDeleteI remember the good old days of part time jobs. Yuck, I had some awful ones.
I'm glad that she works at such a great place! It is a gift that she won't really understand until she gets a crap job.
Have a great day!
Good for those(and your daughter) that are willing to take a stand. I can't believe the boldness of people now days. Ugh! I bet she is doing a stellar of a job!
ReplyDeleteAh, growing up is hard! I'm glad to hear there are so many folks who do stand up to the bullies in society. It's a great lesson to learn!
ReplyDeleteSarah
Sounds like a great job! Good for her!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is awesome community in that work place. Oh that many more would do this.
ReplyDeleteThat kind of behavior is atrocious and like you, I think it's wonderful how they've bonded as group over it!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff getting a job; not so cool about the racist crap. We are in the 21st century, right? But it feels like the 17th!
ReplyDeleteSounds like she's found a good place to work. I worked at a grocery store when I was in college and it was one of my favorite jobs. The people there were great!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!! You should be very proud of her! It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there for another person!!! KUDOS!
ReplyDeleteThose tight-knit places are the best when you are
ReplyDeletestarting out young in a job! Learning teamwork and
comradeship are great life skills! :) Hope your
having a great week!
I always enjoy your daughters expressions in pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd good for all her co-workers for taking care of each other!! Love it!!
That is awesome that the workers are standing up for each other. I loved working in high school, it truly helped to shape me into who I am and part of that was the bonding with co-workers. Milk and cookie parties - LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm like Parsley who commented above ... I didn't realize that thing was truly happening, especially where you guys live. Sounds like B is working with a great group of people. :)
ReplyDeleteBravo to her! And love how she unwinds at night..with your laptop! LOL.
ReplyDeleteSounds like she works at a really nice place! That's awesome!
