Ain't so sure about that one Joh...Gary Phillips<br />Ain't so sure about that one John. I think they hate us in that place and their pay is pants.<br /><br />Jonathan Ellis<br />How could they hate you Gary? Actually I have no idea what their pay is. All I can go by is my experience in the store. If pay were the criteria and positive customer service had nothing to do with the level of sincerity - then assuming that the pay is probably better - I suppose I would have to rate Starbucks as more sincere than the Strand - ... See Morewhich I do not.-P On the other hand you really got a laugh out of me - "their pay is pants" - is that an English thing or is it just you?<br /><br />Gary Phillips<br />You do make a good point. I guess for me I was thinking more along the lines of how much the person in front of me is getting payed which is more important for them rather than how my personal shopping experiance turned out. Sorry about that. <br /><br />Jonathan Ellis<br />Gary - I'm not saying that you got it wrong in any way. The reality is that you happen to be a caring person who is giving real thought and consideration to what is really best for the worker and I absolutely stand with you in that. You are the best. Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />Gary Phillips<br />One more thing. Is it right to go for the 'sincerity' experience even if they get crap money (just supposing they do) or shall we just order our Starbucks double espresso and lay this to rest? Be well buddy.<br /><br />Sincerity a personal experience. That being said I might very well find an absolutely sincere person working at a Starbucks (if I ever went into one - which I do not). Actually other than you having mentioned it in this case I really have no idea of what the people who wait on me make from their employers, so it is ultimately impossible to include that as a factor. NOTE: In order to maintain sincerity [sic] I have just posted this entire conversation as a comment on the Strand blog in question. <br />Rock on Gary,<br />JJonathan Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307563678691013024noreply@blogger.com
