Crew update

Another one of our new guys quit, supposedly because some woman pissed him off when she told him that he couldn't go to the bathroom until break. The woman was described as being white haired, and there is virtually know one we know of who has any authority with white hair. So basically, if anyone told most of us that we couldn't go to the bathroom, we'd tell them to kiss our ass. This guy had another job making $10/hour, and had a bit of a short fuse, so I figure he was just finding a reason to quit.

To update, seven people were hired in August, excluding the new supervisor. Two have already transferred to 3rd shift, four have officially been fired or quit, and I'm not even sure that the one remaining guy is still with us. For the amount of work we do and the amount of pay we get, you either have to be stupid, crazy, or really desperate to do our job. I'll cop to the last two. The only good thing I can say about the past two weeks is that the "stupid" element has been weeded out. But seriously, how can you expect to find good help when you only pay minimum wage for a job that most places would pay $9-$10/hour for? The only reason I even make $7.65 is because of my previous experience.
