- People do not like to be bugged at home.
- Cookies and tea and some real human hospitality are a miracle for a teenage lad in the freezing Toronto winter.
- If you steal change from a donut store to pay for a day-old bag of donuts, you are a bad human being.
- If you hire teenagers to sell potentially stolen kitchen supplies using an expired licence door-to-door in the middle of winter, paying them less than minimum wage if they don’t hit sales quotas, you are a bad human being.
- If you drive in the wrong lane of traffic with a group of kids in the back of your van without seat-belts just to beat a light….well, you get the point.
- Fucking dogs!!!!
- When you are looking for work, you should be skeptical if you find the job on a piece of paper that has been stapled to a cork board inside your high school.
- If you can sell tinfoil door-to-door….you can sell anything.
- Working is always a balance of your need to make money vs. how much you are willing to take (i.e. dignity). I definitely have enough pride to know when I’ve hit the ‘loss of dignity’ limit.
- Don’t work for “Student Jobs of Canada”. That’s not a real thing.
