Default Is it just me, or are laborers and handymen very unreliable?

Now what if that CEO used to be a hamburger flipper...and was named
Ray Kroc.


I'm not the least concerned what a name may be, nor does the name Ray
Kroc
mean anything to me. * Sorry.


* Ray Kroc was a traveling salesman for the mixers used in restaurants.
He went to the McDonald brother's restaurant in his travels and
suggested that they franchise. *They weren't interested, and sold him
the rights. *He was interested in selling more equipment, and thought
that a chain of restaurants would provide a good income. *He wrote a
book* about the history of McDonald's, which the toad never read, or he
wouldn't have called him a burger flipper. *Some of his ideas spilled
over into other businesses, like the sliced hamburger buns. It also
describes the mistakes he made along the way, and how he fixed them. *It
is the story of someone not afraid of work, and able to think on his
feet. *He was 52 when he started the business.

Thanks, Michael.


* *You're welcome. *Like you, I've always taken pride in my work.
That's why the boss always brought me the toughest jobs in the plant,
then told me I was hard to get along with because I wouldn't take no for
an answer when I wasn't satisfied with the quality of something. *OTOH,
they brought me everything that had to meet NASA's standards for space.

Were you paid more for that quality or just minimum wage?
