Why are American workers becoming harder to find?

My couple of years experience in retail taught me that people are generally horrible when they’re not around their peers. I feel there should be a mandatory 1 year of service in retail for every American. It would humanize them.

I don't think it will. I know plenty of people who've worked retail and still treat others like trash.

Same experience here. I am friends with a pharmacist who worked retail with me, and she was starting to get impatient at the guy at Staples because the print job was taking too long, even though he was clearly stressed with a full line of customers.

I fear that, much like the student debt reduction talks, would just result in people saying things like “I had to suffer through {xyz} so you should too!” leading to little net change in customer attitudes.

Lobbyists will change it to 3 years.
