The guy at Subway gets it.

I stop occasionally at my local Subway to get dinner for my wife and I. Tonight I stopped and Ben was working again. No customers were there when I got there so he was sweeping the floor. I asked if he wanted to finish and he said customers were more important. I've talked to Ben before but could not remember if I mentioned Atlas Shrugged. Tonight I asked if he had read it and he said no what was it about. I explained it briefly and said I think you will like it because it shows clearly that there are producers and moochers in the world. He said "there are a lot of moochers but that is not a good enough reason for me to not do my job well". I was a little stunned and impressed.

    I would guess he is about 30-32. Not sure if he likes to read but I would guess he would really enjoy AS.

    You just never know what's inside the head next to you. Isn't it nice when you're not disappointed? :)

    He is an interesting guy. One night we had a conversation about fiat currency and how paper money is worthless. Not something I expected.
