The guy at Subway gets it.
Posted by richrobinson 9 years, 2 months ago to The Gulch: General
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.
