[Rain Man]

It's interesting to me to think about career progressions. When I was 15, it was a big deal to work at Dairy Queen. While we may think of Baskin Robbins as a low-level job, it's quite the experience to the 16 year-old kid for whom it's their first job, so they take it very seriously. I think the system works well in that regard, and it's a good reason to be respectful of the kid behind the counter.

I'll admit that I feel bad, though, when I see a 40 or 50 year-old behind the counter. I figure they either had a bad career setback or they don't live a very prosperous life. It sure does mean that they have a work ethic, though.
