I work at a fairly easy and well paid job. I make close to $13 an hour to cook or be a kitchen aide, doing dishes ect. All the people I work with are adults, and it's a very relaxed inviroment. We have to make sure people are fed on time, certain jobs done, and things cleaned up. It never ceases to amaze me how much people can gripe about what has to be done, and the time frame to do it in, and they don't do anything. I am an ex smoker and have no problem with people smoking. My problem comes from taking a 15 min break in a 4hr job and turning it into a 30 min break. They sit down and take 15min to eat and then go outside for another 15 to smoke. I wouldn't even mind if they went out acouple times as long as it all adds up to 15 min. We end up behind and out late, and they say I am griping about the smoking. I don't feel I am, but it is your choice to eat or smoke, or even eat and smoke as long as it is for the 15 only.
