How do you think the economy will affect decisions by women to stay at home versus work? With so many people losing jobs, do you think more women will be forced back into a job to help out (or take over) family finances? Is SAH parenting

Then perhaps you might want to rethink asking someone to provide personal information if you do not want it posted, the double standard is hard to explain.

Not true. My girlfriend worked at Sam's Club many years ago and she was specificially told by her boss that the customers WERE her boss and that their membership PAID her paycheck so she had to deal with all their complaints and not say a word.


Doesn't part of tuition to a school go towards a teacher's salary? I know my taxes go for ours.

If children are customers, then you are saying that the teachers should take their complaints without saying a word?

It's a figure of speech. Even in a member-owned organization, the customers don't have the technical role of a boss.

LOL, I just couldn't help myself. If I didn't say it, I would never get it out of my head. :-)

Note to self:

1) Obtain a membership at Sam's Club
2) Go to the nearest Sam's Club
3) Find an employee and fire them
4) Hire them again, because I don't want to be totally mean, but it would just be so cool to exercise my authority as their boss

You could always say you were just practicing being Donald Trump (The Apprentice show).

If I have to do my hair like his, though, I'll just forget the whole thing. ;-)
