Just do your damn job

I’ve written before about the morons who presume to place “moral imperatives” on public service and simply doing the jobs for which they were hired.
Another good piece on that at Republic of T.
I’ve worked in many different jobs, and a lot of them in the service industry. I waited tables in college and served food to people who were clearly racist. (Except for one group that actually moved to another section after I introduced myself as their server.) I’ve worked in bookstores and sold all kinds of titles to all kinds of people. If someone comes with a GOP lapel pin wanting to buy one of James Dobson’s books, guess what? I gotta sell it to him, if I want to keep my job. And that’s as it should be. If I don’t want to sell those kinds of books to those kinds of customers, then I’d better find a different kind of bookstore to work in.
Read it in full.
