It's my pleasure to have the job security by serving you. It's my pleasure to have a job that granted me a $1k scholarship. It's my pleasure to have a wonderful Manager title to put on my resume, because I get to better myself serving you. It's my pleasure to see the comment cards at the end of each month with all 5s checked, a comment about politeness and my name written under the "people who served you". It's my pleasure to make somebody smile.
Maybe they've got us brainwashed, or maybe I am just weird, but I do love being at my job. I get to interact and meet many interesting wonderful peopel (and some that are the opposite).
It was like somebody posted in another CFA thread (yours is kind of a repost) "It can't be your pleasure dealing with customers with minimum wage". I don't know if you have noticed our popularity or prices, but we make a good bit of money as a store, so all the employers make about $1-$2 more than minimum wage. Min is what, $7.25 now, and I make 9 as a manager, it's not so bad.
