At the age of sixteen I was working as a cashier at Shop-Rite when I heard those two dreaded words “You’re Fired”. You were allowed to be over or under by ten dollars three times and then the ax would come out and it was sharp. They were right but it still caused a great deal of pain couldn’t they give me another chance? Yet when the tables are turned you have to realize when to let someone go and not try to feel so guilty about not giving them that next chance. This can be just as stressful as the one who got the axe for you never know how that person might react at that moment or later in life. Yet when you bend the rules for one everyone expects that same twist and that can hurt productivity or morale. If on the other hand you are inflexible as I still believe “Shop- Rite” was (my cashier would have been after day 3) then you will never gain that extra touch of loyalty. Therefore having the courageous/confidence to do what is “right” might be more difficult then being one who is asked to leave.
